In this chapter, we briefly discussed the project life cycle. We walked through each phase and discussed the dashboard activity associated with that phase. For example, in the initiation phase, we aligned with the customer's need. It was followed by sketching dashboard components on paper and check with the customer whether this was what he expected from the project, and if this would fulfill his requirements. We also learned about the creation of prototype/models, data import, and publishing the model. We concluded the chapter with an example of the data import.

In the next chapter, we will use the mentioned case and learn how to add dashboard components. We will link it with the data, work around with charts, and add single values and some examples to make ourself comfortable with the topic.
