How long does it take to build a business dashboard or data foundation?
A simple dashboard from one clean source can take days to a couple of weeks. A proper data foundation with several sources, a warehouse, modelled data and dashboards typically takes weeks to a few months, depending on data quality and decisions needed from the business.
Time is driven by:
- Number and accessibility of source systems
- Messiness of the data
- Speed of the business answering definition questions
- Number of dashboards and users
Delays more often come from waiting on access and decisions than from technical work. Zansa Foundation Builds typically run four to eight weeks, with the timeline agreed in writing. Agree a realistic scope and give the supplier prompt access to systems, since waiting on access is a frequent source of delay.
