A data analyst is tasked with developing a new, interactive sales performance dashboard for the executive team. The requirements are high-level, with the primary request being a 'single-pane-of-glass' view of key performance indicators (KPIs). The analyst wants to gather feedback on the proposed layout, color scheme, and selection of charts before connecting to the live database and writing complex queries. Which communication approach would be most effective for this purpose?
Schedule a presentation to verbally describe the proposed dashboard.
Create a static mock-up of the dashboard.
Write a detailed technical specification document.
Develop a fully functional prototype with sample data.
The correct answer is to create a static mock-up. A mock-up is a visual model or replica of a final product, used to get feedback on the design, layout, and overall feel before development begins. This is the most effective approach because it allows stakeholders, particularly a non-technical audience like an executive team, to visualize the final product and provide input early in the process, preventing costly rework.
A fully functional prototype is incorrect because it involves significant development effort that is premature at this stage. Prototypes are typically created after the basic design has been agreed upon. A technical specification document is not suitable for this audience or purpose, as it details the backend processes rather than the visual design for a non-technical C-suite. A verbal presentation alone is insufficient for conveying the nuances of a visual design and can easily lead to misunderstandings.
