How to Best Implement Live Boards

If you like the concept of Live Boards and are interested in adding them to your analytics arsenal, consider some of these best practices when getting set up. You can get details about the different widgets available and how they are used in our Live Boards support article.

If you want to get the most out of Live Boards, we recommend that you consider these points when planning:

• Define Clear Objectives: Identify key metrics that match your goals, such as reducing wait times or improving agent performance. Having a clear purpose ensures that the data displayed on the Live Board is actionable.
• Select Relevant Metrics: Avoid information overload. Focus on actionable data points that impact efficiency and service. Too much data can create confusion.
• Ensure Accessibility: Make sure everyone who needs to see the dashboard can see it and that the dashboard is intuitive and easy to understand for all users.
• Regularly Update and Maintain: Adjust dashboards over time to reflect changing needs. A neglected dashboard may lose its effectiveness if it doesn’t change to match demands. This may mean adding new agents/users to a dashboard or adding/removing widgets.
• Offer Training: Give your staff the skills to use Live Boards effectively and interpret the data to help them improve. Well-trained employees can leverage the data to enhance efficiency and customer service.
• Customize to Fit Your Needs: No two organizations are the same. Adjust Live Boards to display the most relevant data for your specific business model and operational goals.

In short, proper planning and training up front will make Live Boards work more effectively for your organization and your team members.
