After reviewing all of the possible visualization options in Redash, it's about time that we learn how to wrap and present it to the relevant entities.

Dashboards are usually the culmination of an analytical process, so it's a real opportunity to enhance the effect of these insights, thus making interpretation of the results nice and easy.

A single visualization can help you spot a trend, while a well planned dashboard can give you multiple trends for numerous metrics, more of a 360° view of the problem, and truly back a business decision (for example, expanding to a vertical or completely abandoning a moderately profitable campaign).
