Business Users knowledge of SAP Business Intelligence
Variance Analysis of Actual Information to Budget

scheme out of 20+ options
Invest time on your first dashboard as it is critical to excite the audience and drive adoption
Realistic screen mockups drive requirements gathering better • Your services partner should proactively elevate their game where
executive views are captured in the design phase itself
• Driven by Business/Executives and Delivered by IT
Limit the number of parallel dashboard projects per user
