Why Generic Dashboards Don’t Work Anymore
Most dashboards today are built using the same layout, same charts, and same visual patterns — regardless of whether the business is SaaS, Finance, HR, Marketing, or Operations.
But here’s the truth:
A generic dashboard can only show data.
An industry-specific dashboard tells a story.
That’s why PowerBI Graphs V2 includes industry-specific dashboard templates designed for the KPIs, workflows, and decision patterns unique to each business domain.
Instead of forcing teams to start from scratch, V2 lets you design dashboards that already “speak the language” of your business.
Why Generic Dashboards Fail
Generic dashboards fail because they ignore context.
Most teams struggle with:
Irrelevant KPIs
Poor information hierarchy
Generic layouts that don’t match business roles
Extra noise and complex navigation
Data points that don’t support real decision-making
This leads to frustration:
“This dashboard looks good, but it’s not actionable.”
“It doesn’t tell me what I need to know.”
PowerBI Graphs V2 solves this by aligning dashboard design with industry logic.
What It Means to Design Industry-Specific Dashboards
1. Industry-Specific Metrics
Every domain has its own KPIs:
SaaS → MRR, ARR, Churn, Activation
Finance → P&L, Variance, Margins
HR → Hiring Pipeline, Headcount, Attrition
Marketing → ROAS, CAC, Funnels, Engagement
Operations → Capacity, Inventory, Fulfillment
V2 templates start with these KPIs baked in.
2. Storytelling Made for Each Business Role
Each business function uses dashboards differently.
CMOs need funnels + performance
CFOs need ratios + tables
HR teams need trends + segmentation
Ops need real-time metrics
V2 templates follow the decision-making flow of each role.
3. Layouts Designed Around Real KPIs
Instead of forcing universal layouts, PowerBI Graphs V2 uses domain-aligned structures:
SaaS → Revenue → Growth → Cohorts → Retention
Finance → P&L → Expenses → Margin → Forecast
HR → Hiring → Attrition → Headcount → DEI
Marketing → Traffic → Costs → Performance → ROAS
Design that feels intuitive → Insights understood faster.
