You need to explain about the below things in detail.

• Domain of the dashboard (finance/Sales/Supply chain etc)
• Target users (sales executives, Managers, customers, CEO etc)
• Data sources used
• Connectivity used
• explanation about fact and dimension tables
• Data model creation and its challenges
• reload time, frequency and type of reload (Incremental load if any)
• List of KPIs used
• List of Charts for each KPIs
• How the KPIs benefited the end users (eg: My receivable amount overdue dashboard helps the client to collect 2M USD extra each week etc)
• Security applied in the dashboard
• Number of users

It's better to explain the things based on the role you played on the project .

Thanks,
