- Before dashboard sign-off, I validate that all KPIs match the approved business definitions.
- I reconcile key numbers with source systems or validated reports to ensure accuracy.
- I test filters, slicers, and drill-through to confirm they work as expected.
- I verify Row-Level Security by logging in with different role access.
- I check data refresh timing and confirm the latest data is reflected.
- I review layout, labels, and formatting for clarity and consistency.
- I validate edge cases like zero values or missing data handling.
- Finally, I get business stakeholder UAT approval before production release.
