## Dashboard Requirements Checklist

### Stakeholder Interviews
- [ ] Identify all stakeholder groups
- [ ] Conduct individual interviews (30-45 min each)
- [ ] Document key questions each group needs answered
- [ ] Prioritize metrics by stakeholder value
- [ ] Identify refresh frequency requirements

### Data Source Inventory
- [ ] List all existing quality data sources
- [ ] Document API availability and authentication
- [ ] Check data quality and completeness
- [ ] Identify data gaps requiring new instrumentation
- [ ] Map data relationships and dependencies

### Technical Requirements
- [ ] User access requirements (SSO, RBAC)
- [ ] Performance requirements (load time, concurrent users)
- [ ] Mobile accessibility needs
- [ ] Integration requirements with existing tools
- [ ] Compliance and security requirements

### Success Criteria
- [ ] Define measurable adoption metrics
- [ ] Establish baseline for comparison
- [ ] Set targets for dashboard usage
- [ ] Define quality improvement KPIs
- [ ] Plan for feedback collection mechanism

## Design Principles

1. **Hierarchy of Information**
   - Most critical metrics prominently displayed
   - Drill-down capability for details
   - Contextual information on hover/click

2. **Visual Design**
   - Consistent color scheme (red=bad, green=good, amber=warning)
   - Appropriate chart types for data
   - Minimal clutter, maximum insight
   - Responsive layout for all devices

3. **Performance**
   - Load time < 3 seconds
   - Incremental loading for large datasets
   - Caching strategy for static data
   - Lazy loading for detailed views

4. **Accessibility**
   - Color-blind friendly palette
   - Screen reader compatibility
   - Keyboard navigation support
   - High contrast mode option

- [ ] Verify metrics calculations against source systems
- [ ] Test edge cases (zero values, null data)
- [ ] Validate aggregations and rollups
- [ ] Cross-check trends with historical data
- [ ] Test data refresh mechanisms

### Functional Testing
- [ ] Test all filters and interactions
- [ ] Verify drill-down functionality
- [ ] Test export features
- [ ] Validate alert triggers
- [ ] Check permission-based views

### Performance Testing
- [ ] Load time with full dataset
- [ ] Concurrent user capacity
- [ ] Query optimization verification
- [ ] Mobile performance testing
- [ ] Network latency scenarios

### User Acceptance Testing
- [ ] Walkthrough with each stakeholder group
