The handoff

A concise list of relevant analytics resources with definitions, dates, access context, and review notes.

Keep in mind

A metric can be stale, scoped differently, or based on restricted information. Enforce existing access rules, verify definitions and date ranges, disclose gaps, and have an analyst review results before they are used in a report or decision.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Map reporting access to user roles

Keep restricted data visible only to people approved to see it.

Maintain metric definitions and owners

Keep business meaning, calculation scope, and review dates easy to find.

Document freshness and alert expectations

Explain update timing and what an alert does and does not indicate.

Assign a reviewer for shared findings

Name who checks the result and approves its audience before distribution.
