Who Databox is for
M&E teams and managers pulling indicators from several tools who want one dashboard to share with funders and the board.
Who should skip it
Skip it if your data sits in one spreadsheet or you report once a year. A dashboard only shows what you measure, so define your impact indicators before choosing a tool.
