Executive Dashboard Slide Template

Composed exec readout: KPI strip on top, trajectory chart in the middle, insight bullets on the bottom. Standard shape for QBRs, board pre-reads, and quarterly business reviews. Information-dense by design — the slide answers where we are, how we got here, and what it means in one read.

Parameters

Parameter
Description
title
Slide title — make it conclusion-style ('Revenue beat plan; margin recovery hinges on Q4 enterprise close').
metrics
KPI strip across the top. Each: {value, label, trend?, trend_dir?}. Examples: $3.2M / Revenue / +28% / up.
x_labels
Time-axis labels (e.g. ['Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4'] or months).
series
Trajectory series. Each: {label, values}. Use 1-3 series (actual vs plan vs prior period). 4+ becomes hard to read.
insights
Bottom commentary bullets — what the data MEANS. Action-oriented over descriptive ('Q4 enterprise pipeline closes the gap', not 'Revenue went down in Q3').
takeaway
Optional bottom takeaway under 25 words.

Example brief

Q3 readout: revenue $3.2M (+28%), 847 logos (+34%), 78% margin (-2pp), 62 NPS (flat). Trajectory shows revenue beating plan in Q1, on plan Q2-Q3, with margin pressure from APAC infra. Q4 enterprise pipeline closes the margin gap.
