Lessons from a Chocolate Calendar

My chocolate advent calendar has been teaching me more about data than I expected.

Day : I forgot (data latency)

Day 2: Two chocolates in one day (batch processing)

Day 7: Couldn’t find the number (poor data labelling)

Day 14: Someone else ate it (data breach)

Day 18: Still empty (clearly an integrity issue)

By the time I hit Christmas Eve, I realised the same thing applies to dashboards:

1. the insights only work if you open them daily

2. the process matters as much as the treat

3. and sometimes… the reward is just taking a moment to pause.

Happy Holidays all x
