What Jamie wrote

Designing dashboards and presenting quantitative data is critically important, particularly when those displays are used to provide feedback to humans operating in an environment.

I love this simple rule he puts forward.

Therefore, the best metric experience

  • shows users the latest value,
  • how it has been trending,
  • and enables them to take actions directly from the display itself.

Get that right, and you should be spot on.
