Dashboards & Review Cadence

Purpose and scope

Define the dashboards and how they are used in weekly/monthly/quarterly reviews.

Outcomes

• Single source of truth for trends and anomalies.
• Team filters and service groupings.
• Review notes and annotations preserved.

Signals of trouble

• Multiple dashboards with conflicting numbers.
• Reviews without hypotheses or follow-ups.
• Leaders request raw counts without context.

Remediation steps

1. Stand up a canonical dashboard with time-series per metric.
2. Add filters (team, service, product area) and annotation capability.
3. Embed review frequency and owners in the engineering calendar.

Checklists and assets

• playbooks/measure-dora-metrics/checklist.md for dashboard minimums.
