Purpose: The objective of this paper is to make the reader aware of how to design dashboards dedicated to project indicator visualization so as to support their digestibility, usability (scannability) and customizability. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this goal, first, a literature review was conducted to identify principles for designing dashboards for this issue. Secondly, a real project management dashboard was built to investigate, in terms of technical issues, which interventions a project management dashboard designer should use to create a useful tool that would support the work of the project team. Findings: The digestibility should address the following issues: 1) the optimal number of visualizations, 2) chart selections in a way that enables adaptation to data and assumed initiated action, 3) color design in the context of best contras, with color-blind users in mind. In addition, the usability (scannability) should be intuitive. Thus, elements related to time widget intervals and click to filter options have to be added. To provide the customizability, the dashboard should be designed to display project indicators tailored to the tasks of a particular project team. Originality/value: New in the paper is an examination of a dashboard digestibility, scannability, and customizability in the area of project indicator visualization.
