Dashboard Design Brief Template

Dashboard redesigns fail when design begins before the team agrees on what the dashboard needs to accomplish. This template gives PMs a structured brief — capturing user problems, explicit non-goals, data dependencies, and success definitions — before a single wireframe is drawn. The Brief Items workbook tracks every user problem, design requirement, and non-goal by status. The Dashboard Design Brief document translates the workbook into a written brief with User Jobs to Be Done and a Success Definition. Built for PMs and analytics leads who want to stop building dashboards that answer the wrong question.
