• Use an appropriate chart type with...

  • A descriptive title

  • Named axes

  • Consistent formatting with other cards in the collection (for example, blue line = forecast, green bar = current, and so on)

  • A goal line if there is a goal associated with the data

• Ensure the card is linked to other appropriate content that applies to the same business question.

• Ensure the card is assigned to the appropriate owner (the person responsible for answering questions about the card).
