    Quickstart dashboards

    In Progress · M2 — Internal Adoption + Design Partners3 / 3 (100%)

    Objective

    Build and maintain opinionated Dataface dashboard packs for Fivetran quickstart open-source dbt projects. Packs should feel familiar to anyone who has used the source product’s standard analytics: same kinds of questions, similar topologies (overview vs entity detail), and sensible cross-board navigation—all backed by the quickstart star schema (no pretend metrics the model cannot support).

    Milestone placement

    Intentionally M2 / design-partner work: it assumes dft init, catalog context, and analyst workflows exist; the goal is repeatable content + navigation patterns on real quickstart repos, not one-off YAML.

    Depends on (blocking)

    Link-heavy packs need first-class board linking before the program is fully unblocked:

    Design research: Dashboard linking — research.

    Workspace convention (program task)

    Use a dedicated parent directory for clone-per-connector checkouts (recommend outside the Dataface git tree to avoid nested-repo friction). Document the exact path in Spec. Each connector gets a sibling checkout; run dft init at the project root per repo conventions, then author dashboards alongside that project.

    Research skill

    Deliverables

    • [ ] Documented workspace layout + clone/dft init checklist (program setup task).
    • [ ] V1 research skill (linked above) exercised and revised using two pilots.
    • [ ] At least two connector pilots with published research notes + initial YAML pack outline.
    • [ ] Retro: process improvements fed back into the skill and into tasks (spawn follow-up tasks as needed).
