What

Is A
Wireframe?
A wireframe is a simple visual
guide for a Power BI dashboard.

It's a basic plan that shows where


different parts of the dashboard
will be, what features it will have,
and how users might use it.

Wireframes are usually barebones


sketches without color or fancy
designs.
Goals and objectives aren't written
down in a wireframe, but they
should be clear from the layout.

Before you start making a


wireframe, you should already
know what you want the
dashboard to do.
The title and navigation menu of
the dashboard are key.

They give users a quick idea of


what the dashboard is about and
how to get around.

Choosing the right words for these


parts is important.

The layout also helps guide users


through the information in a
structured way.
A basic wireframe is just a rough
sketch showing the main parts of
the dashboard.

It should give a high-level view of


the dashboard's focus and how it
breaks down the data.
The size of each part can also show
how important it is.
Why Wireframes are
Important

Creating a good wireframe is a


crucial first step in designing a
Power BI dashboard.

It's a way to visually express your


ideas, which is often easier to
understand than a spoken
explanation.

A well-made wireframe can help


people see how different parts of
the dashboard relate to each
other.
But to make a good wireframe,
you need to keep it clear and
straightforward.

It's best to use simple shapes and


avoid using color.

This helps keep the focus on the


layout and content.
The wireframe serves as a shared
reference point for everyone
involved in the project.

It's a visual guide that shows what


the finished dashboard should
look like.

By doing this, it helps different


teams work together more
effectively.
Labeling is more important than
creating detailed designs in a
wireframe. It tells everyone what
to expect and what's important.

At the end of the day, a wireframe


is a tool for communication and
collaboration. It helps keep
everyone focused on the same
goal.
There are many tools you can use
to create wireframes. Some of the
popular ones include:
PowerPoint
Figma
LucidChart
And many others…
