As an engineer who works with lots of data, I have so much disdain for “dashboards.” Execs spent the last 10-15 years demanding pretty pictures and numbers on a single screen, of which they comprehend very little. Now they wanna shove all that data into an AI so they don’t even have to pretend to look at it. God forbid they ask their employees in the field for their analysis.
I feel most dashboards can be replaced by a single message to the project manager: “yo is shit fucked today?” “nah” “ok cool”
just use a set of keys. You can jangle them in front of the execs if things are good, if they aren't then they don't get to coo and paw at the keys
