You don’t need to build the whole thing

Hey


If you’ve ever shipped a dashboard no one uses, here’s a thought:


It’s easy to go heads-down and build a full pipeline or dashboard before showing anything.


But most data products benefit from starting smaller.


Next time, build a working slice. One metric, one source, one user.

Ship it, show it, improve it.


I’ve written more about that mindset here if you want to go deeper:


Stop Building Bold Data Products


Talk soon,
