summary
Argues that dashboards must match audience and purpose and defines four dashboard levels — business intelligence, management information, operational and development — using a biscuit-factory example where a TV-ad campaign is measured against KPIs; describes a crude but effective HTML+Excel prototype that visualizes progress toward an 8M shekels goal (slide later shows 18M), and reports using Elastic for centralized logging; shows that a lightweight dashboard increased cross‑team visibility and drove conversations that actually changed behavior.
