Visual Design Principles

/* Traffic light colors for status */
.metric-good { color: #22c55e; }    /* Green */
.metric-warning { color: #f59e0b; } /* Amber */
.metric-bad { color: #ef4444; }     /* Red */

/* Visual hierarchy */
.metric-primary {
  font-size: 2.5rem;
  font-weight: 700;
}

.metric-secondary {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  font-weight: 500;

  • Update data in real-time or hourly
  • Review dashboard relevance quarterly

Common Mistakes

  • Too many metrics (information overload)
  • No clear visual hierarchy
  • Missing context (no comparisons)
  • Outdated or stale data
  • Metrics without ownership
