The Brief
The idea of business intelligence sounds great, right? Data that’s simple to understand and apply to real-life decision making is something every industry can benefit from. But making sense of the large amount of data available across the banking and finance industries is no easy feat. It would be incredibly tedious, overwhelming, and time consuming if it were to be done manually.
Considering the volume of information most companies have dispersed across various applications and services, achieving a 360-degree view of your customers and business as a whole can be a challenge for any size business. In order to use business intelligence practices to your advantage, a unified aggregate of data is an absolute must-have. That’s why banking and finance companies are utilizing BI tools to quickly understand, analyze, and find value in big data.
As more and more teams are following agile framework in their projects, Jira being one of the common platform to track all tasks and progress, I was able to build a Tableau dashboard to track the progress of each milestone and forecast delivery date based on team's velocity and throughput.
If you are using data visualization in your world then you already know that Tableau is an amazing BI tool and among many types of charts, Gantt charts helps us to visualize the time line of a project. In the above dashboard, I have made an attempt to visualize changes in delivery dates of each milestone at summary level using Jira data and the capability to drill down into each milestone to study the progress and identify bottlenecks!
