BI dashboards, project management, apparel sizing
Limited copies of Store Design are still available.
This week, for paid members
- Our design of the week is for the funniest pagination we’ve ever seen. Should pagination be funny? The answer is no.
- And our weekly paid lesson is a big one, talking about BI dashboards and what they can teach us. Dashboard maintenance is effectively a full-time role – making sure the data is clean, and providing actionable insights with it. We used to do this as a standalone offering, but we found that it really requires a solid 40 hours per week of work, and so we think internal resourcing is the way to go. Nonetheless, stores have a need for this, and they want to know where to start. So let’s talk about it!

Links & analysis
- This repository of “letters to a young technologist” touches on many value-based design topics, outlining the necessity for a strong ethical background when practicing.
- There’s always been a tension between those who think design should be only design, and those – like us – who advocate for expanding the scope of our practice. Apparently the latest front is on project management. Don’t worry, you should still learn to code, too!
- Apparel brands’ largest conversion problem is in offering quality sizing. You can’t have too little information with sizing, and many stores offer half-baked, inaccessible, illegible sizing. Baymard has more on how to do sizing right.
