Dashboards are not useful filled with summary charts

Grids of data are difficult to interpret. Dashboards of summary charts of that data are only one step better. It still takes time to look at and interpret what needs to be done.

Dashboards really should do the job of interpretation for the user. Show a list of the items that need to be done now. Display the items that are up next and that are approaching. Provide the ability to use the data to predict what-if scenarios.
