Data-Driven Decisions: What Ops Can Borrow from ERP Dashboards

In operations, we talk a lot about metrics. Teams rely on dashboards, charts, and alerts to spot issues before they spiral. But the truth is, many Ops dashboards are overloaded with noise and lack the clarity that decision-makers need. Business leaders in other domains, like enterprise resource planning (ERP), often take a more disciplined approach. Their dashboards are built to show exactly what matters for day-to-day and long-term performance.

Manage your dashboards and monitors at scale

In the early stages of building a system, a few well-placed dashboards and monitors can provide sufficient visibility into service health and performance.

In organizations where individual teams manage their own services but rely on a central platform or observability team for tooling and guidance, this complexity can quickly multiply.

Alerting Best Practices

A firing alert is like someone ringing your doorbell - it demands your immediate attention, interrupting whatever else you’re doing. It requires focus and a quick response. But imagine trying to live in an apartment where the doorbell never stops ringing. You could put in earplugs to block the noise, but that only masks the problem - it doesn’t solve it. On the other hand, disconnecting the doorbell entirely isn’t a solution either.
