Live Online Dashboard Usability and User Experience Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Plenty of dashboards are technically correct and still ignored, because users cannot find what they need or do not trust what they see. Sessions start with usability and UX fundamentals, including cognitive load, pre-attentive attributes and how people scan a screen. User research methods such as interviews, personas, task analysis and journey mapping help you define who a dashboard serves and the decisions it must support. You then refine layout, navigation, filters, colour, labelling and chart choice to improve clarity and interface performance.
Usability testing sessions cover test planning, think-aloud protocols, the System Usability Scale, task success rates and usage analytics that reveal how dashboards are actually used. The final day looks at adoption through stakeholder engagement, onboarding, governance and iterating on feedback. Exercises involve critiquing and redesigning sample dashboards built in tools such as Power BI or Tableau, though the principles apply to any platform. BI developers, data analysts, report designers, product owners and managers who commission dashboards are a good fit for this foundation-to-intermediate level. You will be able to diagnose usability problems quickly and design dashboards that people return to because they make decisions easier.
