Forest for the trees

When we’re putting out fires, getting things done, and juggling multiple actions, it’s easy to lose sight of the forest. When burrowed deep into our daily to-do list, we often forget where we are on the roadmap. This is particularly so if we are in a hybrid work environment with limited peer interaction. One way to keep an eye on the prize is having a metrics dashboard. As the name suggests, a dashboard provides a snapshot of how your business (or at least your part of the business) is performing. It also serves as a decision guide to keep you on the path.
