Dashboards are powerful tools that allow us to monitor and control our projects and organizations. When using a dashboard a brief analysis can spot important trends and significantly improve our decision making capabilities by providing leading indicators of success or failure.
As with many software projects, it's best to develop a dashboard iteratively using best-practice agile principles. Data sources can be complex and requirements will change which adds to the complexity of creating an effective and useful iterative dashboard.
Agile and iterative projects naturally lend themselves to a dashboard-based approach as they encourage and rely upon the objective and empirical measurement of the teams progress and performance, often using popular measures such as velocity, risk exposure, and verified requirements presented in the form of burn-down or burn-up charts.
In this one-hour webinar we will look at how we can create a practical dashboard for iterative projects by examining a number of popular measures and how we can use them on real projects.
