Why shouldn't you share all available metrics with stakeholders?

• A. It costs too much to share metrics
• B. They won't understand more metrics
• C. All metrics will overwhelm the dashboard
• D. Stakeholders typically don't need all metrics; you should choose the most relevant ones

Answer: (D)

Choosing which metrics to share with stakeholders hinges on keeping information actionable and aligned with decisions. Stakeholders typically don’t need every metric; the most effective reports highlight the ones that directly inform goals and enable quick decisions. A focused set of metrics reduces cognitive load, makes trends easier to spot, and helps stakeholders act fast. That’s why the best approach is to select the most relevant metrics rather than dumping everything. Sharing all metrics can overwhelm and distract, while simply assuming more metrics won’t help isn’t the right reason—it's about relevance and decision usefulness.
