What have we been doing?

  • A prototype dashboard was published on 28 September, inviting feedback on its usefulness, content, and whether it is easy to understand where progress needs to be made.
  • Feedback channels used were Loomio, Government Data Ninjas, and email. The feedback period closed at the end of October and we received constructive feedback on both the content and its presentation.

What’s next?

  • The dashboard will be redesigned based on the feedback received, and we will seek feedback on aspects of the design as it’s developed. The aim is to create an interactive tool that displays changes in key progress indicators over time, and can be easily updated.
