The buyer’s dashboard

A buyer wants detailed employee activity reporting in a collaboration product. Daily users say they already feel overwhelmed by notifications and monitoring.

Distinguish the buyer, admin, and daily user. What management decision is the requested reporting intended to support?

Ask whether managers need workload balance, missed deadlines, or individual surveillance. Those goals require different data and create different trust implications.

Explore a report about blocked work or team capacity if that meets the legitimate need. Consult the appropriate privacy and policy owners before defining access and granularity. Commercial importance does not make every requested measurement appropriate.

Make the intended decision, data need, and access boundaries explicit before committing to reporting scope.
