- If a dashboard is requested urgently with incomplete requirements, I first identify the core objective of the dashboard and the key decisions it should support.
- I quickly speak with the main stakeholder to confirm the most important KPIs and metrics needed for the first version.
- Instead of waiting for full requirements, I focus on building a minimum viable dashboard with the critical metrics.
- I review available data sources to ensure the required data exists and is reliable.
- During development, I share quick mockups or sample visuals to get early feedback from stakeholders.
- In one project, we had to deliver a sales dashboard within two days with limited details.
- I started with revenue, order count, and region-wise performance, which were the main business needs.
- After delivering the first version, we collected feedback and added additional views in later iterations.
- This approach ensures quick delivery while allowing improvements later.
