Which metrics belong on the first screen?
Choose measures that lead to a useful decision: work waiting for review, exceptions or records needing action. Define each measure and its source before deciding how to display it.
Can access differ for each team?
Describe each team’s tasks and the records they should access. Role boundaries should cover actions as well as visibility, with acceptance checks for permitted and restricted journeys.
What happens when data is missing?
The interface should distinguish an empty result, a loading state and unavailable source information. Agree what the staff member can do next rather than showing an unexplained zero or broken chart.
How is the project scope agreed?
Agree the essential tasks, information, roles and acceptance examples before development. For admin dashboard development, that means documenting daily tasks, source records and operational exceptions and separating launch requirements from later additions.
What should the proposal make clear?
Ask for the deliverables, external dependencies, ownership, testing and handover responsibilities to be named. The proposal should also explain commercial terms, exclusions and how changes to the agreed scope are handled.
