The Illusion of Control – When Dashboards Fight Back

“Let’s automate this!” – said the person with zero test cases.
🎤 Bonus Insight:
Automate everything, they said. It'll scale beautifully, they said. But guess who owns the chaos when it breaks? Yep, the dashboard whisperer (you).
True story: A well-meaning analyst once created a dashboard to track issue resolution. The dashboard broke... so a second dashboard was built to monitor the first one. Now there’s a third dashboard tracking both. Nobody knows who owns what anymore.
✨ User Review:
“I don’t fix dashboards. I just escalate them artistically.”
