YMMV, has any technologist found a dashboard useful?<p>I've had a very bad history with dashboards. All I've seen get ordered up by nontechnical leadership, not looked at, and involved endless fiddling with painful corporate applications.<p>The non-technical stakeholders I've had a good relationship with, I vend a SQL script/Jupyter Notebook and educate. They're happy to up-skill.<p>I've only had dashboards requested by users with a dysfunctional relationship with engineering, in companies where the data is irrelevant.<p>In environments where data <i>matters</i>, fast moving consumer goods, web, etc, stakeholders speak SQL/Jupyter. I've seen remarkably non-technological people learn SQL and query read replicas because they <i>need</i> sales aggregates.<p>In environments where data doesn't matter, dashboards are requested as a corporate power play.<p>A director who doesn't care about your project asks for a dashboard to assert their authority, and remind you your budget can be cancelled.
