Building dashboards in Yolkboard

Create a dashboard that your whole team will check before standup.

Beginner9 min read
Before you beginYou need the cluck CLI, a Pollosoft account, and a coop to work in. No prior experience required. Curiosity and a mild fondness for chickens are helpful.

Overview

Create a dashboard that your whole team will check before standup. The whole thing takes about 9 minutes, and the commands below are the ones you will use along the way.

$ cluck dash new team-health
$ cluck dash add chart latency
$ cluck dash share team-health

Steps

  1. Start with a question. Every chart should answer one question. "Are we up?" is a good one. "Everything" is not.
  2. Choose chart types. Lines for trends, bars for comparisons, and one big number for the executives.
  3. Add filters. Let viewers filter by coop, service, and time range. Default to the last 24 hours.
  4. Share and subscribe. Share a link, schedule a Monday email, and embed it in the team wiki.
