Design reports and dashboards

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

Design a dashboard for the Q2 sales performance report, including widgets for total revenue, new client acquisition, and regional breakdown, and prepare it for presentation to the executive team on Wednesday.

Before I present this dashboard to the board, make it easier for them to quickly grasp the key insights and potential areas of concern. Add a summary section with the top 3 metrics, use visual cues to highlight underperforming areas, and suggest a drill-down path for deeper analysis.

The marketing director wants to see every single metric on the dashboard, but the CEO just said it needs to be 'at a glance'.
Maria, the marketing director, just asked for every single campaign metric to be visible on the new dashboard, but the CEO, David, just told me it needs to be 'at a glance' for quick decision-making. I'm afraid of creating a dashboard that's either too cluttered to be useful or too sparse to satisfy Maria's needs. What’s the likely diagnosis of this conflicting feedback, and what’s the best next move to design a dashboard that serves both?

I frequently struggle to design reports and dashboards that satisfy both stakeholders who want all the data and those who need high-level summaries.
I keep losing accuracy and credibility when designing reports and dashboards, trying to balance the need for comprehensive data with the demand for executive summaries. What habit should I change to consistently create dashboards that effectively communicate critical information to different audiences without constant revisions?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Figma's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
