Description

Design and develop a dashboard that provides a visual overview of implementation progress against the Optimization Roadmap. This dashboard will track milestones, display key performance indicators, and offer progress reports, enabling users to monitor the effectiveness of improvement initiatives and make timely adjustments.

Acceptance Criteria

Dashboard Initialization

Given a new user logs in and accesses the dashboard, when they navigate to the Progress Monitoring Dashboard, then the interface loads within 3 seconds displaying all default sections.

Milestone Tracking

Given that the user has defined roadmap milestones, when the dashboard processes the roadmap data, then it displays an accurate visual timeline and progress percentages for each milestone.

KPI Visualization

Given the feature collects KPI data from multiple sources, when the dashboard visualizes this data, then all KPIs are presented in clear charts that update in real-time.

Progress Reports Generation

Given the tracking of implementation progress, when the user requests a progress report, then the dashboard generates a detailed report including key metrics and historical comparisons.

Real-time Alerts and Updates

Given that changes occur in the implementation progress, when thresholds or delays are detected, then the dashboard triggers alerts and updates the display within 1 minute.

Operational Alert System

User Makes Incremental Adjustments

Given a user modifies their alert thresholds and trigger conditions gradually, when changes are made, then the system must provide immediate visual feedback confirming the update and providing a summary of the new settings.

Error Handling for Invalid Inputs

Given a user enters an unsupported value or leaves required fields empty in the Customizable Alert Settings form, when they attempt to save the configuration, then the system must prevent the save and display an appropriate error message indicating the issue.

Multi-Channel Notification System

"As an entrepreneur, I want to receive alerts through multiple channels so that I can promptly address critical issues regardless of my current activity or preferred device."

Description

Ensures that alerts are delivered promptly through various communication channels including email, SMS, and in-app notifications. This redundancy guarantees that users remain informed about critical operational updates no matter their location or device, thus reinforcing timely responses to issues.

Acceptance Criteria

Real-Time Alert Delivery

Given an anomaly in operational metrics, when the anomaly is detected, then notifications are sent promptly through email, SMS, and in-app channels.

User Preference Consistency

Given that a user has specified individual channel preferences, when a notification is triggered, then the system respects and sends notifications according to those user-defined settings.

Channel Redundancy Through Fallback

Given that one notification channel fails or is unreachable, when the alert is generated, then the system automatically sends the notification through an alternative channel to ensure delivery.

Notification Message Clarity

Given an operational alert is sent, when the user receives the notification, then it contains clear, concise information including the issue identified and actionable next steps.

Audit Trail Logging

Given that a notification is sent, when the alert is dispatched, then the system logs the event with a timestamp, channel details, and confirmation of delivery for audit purposes.

Historical Data Analysis Module

"As a product analyst, I want to review historical data trends so that I can adjust and enhance alert configurations for more accurate future notifications."

Description

Analyzes past performance metrics and customer feedback to refine and calibrate alert thresholds. By leveraging historical data, this module helps reduce false alarms and improve the precision of anomaly detection, thereby providing valuable insights for continual operational improvement.

Acceptance Criteria

Baseline Calibration

Given historical performance metrics and customer feedback data, when the module is executed, then it must correctly calibrate alert thresholds with at least 90% accuracy compared to manual analysis.

False Alarm Prevention

Given historical data inputs, when recalibrating thresholds, then the module should reduce the rate of false alerts by at least 20% compared to previous settings.

Enhanced Anomaly Detection

Given historical data and newly calculated thresholds, when anomalies occur, then the system must achieve a detection precision of at least 85%.

Data Refresh Frequency

Given continuous updates of historical data, when new data is processed, then the analysis module must update alert thresholds within 1 minute of data availability.

Scalability Check

Given a large volume of historical data, when processing and recalibrating, then the module must complete its execution within 5 seconds to ensure performance scalability.
