Blog #3: Your Personal Online-Dashboard
Question: How can you view your progress and your most important key figures conveniently and from anywhere at any time?
Method: Online-Dashboard
Explanation: As soon as I have analyzed the data from your online diary for the first time (1. Round of Analyses) you will get access to your personal online-dashboard. The dashboard consists of 5 levels:
On the first level you can see the status of your goal achievement. For example, if you want to lose 10 kg and have already lost 5kg, your goal achievement is 50%.
On the second level you can see the development of your personal key performance indicators (KPIs) over time. If your goal is weight loss, this could be your stomach and leg circumference as well as your weight, as shown below. Depending on your interests, you can view the development of the KPIs over the entire time period or you can select smaller time periods that are of interest to you.
On the third level you can see the results of the driver analyses (see Blog #2). Here you can see which control variables (e.g., calories) have the largest effect on your goal and you can filter the results for the respective analysis round.
On the fourth level (see below) you can see how well you manage to adhere to the planned specifications regarding your control variables (e.g., calories, carbohydrates). Ideally, all values should be within the tolerance band (i.e., between the two red dashed lines). Here you can also select the entire period for which data is available or only certain time periods that are of interest to you.
Finally, on the fifth level you see the recommendations for action, which can each be derived from a round of analysis. We also discuss these recommendations for action at our monthly meeting to make optimizations that are necessary for you to achieve your goal.
Conclusion: The dashboard allows you to check the status of your goal achievement, the most important key figures as well as current and past recommendations anytime, from anywhere and at a single glimpse.
