You are asked to add advanced analytics features without clarity on usage. How do you proceed?

First, I would ask stakeholders what business decisions they expect the advanced analytics features to support.
Without a clear use case, adding complex analytics may not provide real value.
I would request specific examples of how they plan to use features like forecasting or predictive metrics.
If the requirement is still unclear, I would propose a small proof of concept instead of building a full solution.
In one project, stakeholders requested predictive analysis, but after discussion we realized they mainly needed trend analysis.
This helped us avoid unnecessary complexity in the dashboard.
I would also show simple examples or prototypes so stakeholders can visualize how the feature would work.
Based on feedback, we can refine the requirement before implementing it fully.
Finally, I would prioritize features that clearly support business decisions and measurable outcomes.
