After receiving a project handover, which involved diving into a job role to determine tasks and decisions before creating user stories and worksheet ideas, we were tasked to embark on a journey to incorporate client feedback and sketch a detailed dashboard. Here’s a reflection on the process:
Achievements:
- Effective Time Management: I allocated my time wisely, ensuring each part of the brief was addressed thoroughly.
- Granular User Stories: By refining the user stories, I was able to provide a more detailed description of the requirements, which led to the creation of specific and actionable charts.
- Chart Interactivity: I focused on how each chart would aid in decision-making for each user story, enhancing the dashboard's utility.
What I learned:
- Presentation Clarity: Presentations can delve too deeply into the details. Presentations benefit from a minimalistic approach, focusing on the core message and possibly showcasing just the dashboard itself - manage the audiences attention!
- Business Perspective: Emphasis on business considerations when designing charts make the dashboard more relevant and actionable.
- Defining Success: Clarifying what constitutes "good" in the context of the dashboard and its metrics will improve understanding and applicability, while removing ambiguous descriptions - think if someone will need to take over your project!
