Supervisors need today's permit queue for staffing, while directors need multi-year intake and clearance trends for strategy. How should analytic products be matched to purpose?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Today's queue is a radio traffic report; multi-year trends are the atlas. Build different products for different jobs instead of one mash-up nobody can drive. Purpose first, then the artifact.
Full Explanation
Analytic product-purpose fit assigns operational nowcasts to near-term staffing decisions and strategic trend packs to longer-horizon planning. A single static annual PDF, forcing strategic users onto live queue screens, or mixing grains in one unlabeled workbook misaligns latency, grain, and narrative to the decision. BI awareness includes designing products to purpose.
