It’s also extremely productive.
Management always thinks a new web report / dashboard will solve all the problems.
Team then spends a week or month building said report into system.
Only to find that it doesn’t help anything.
Six months of iterations later it’s correct and useful.
Or have someone build a one off report in excel. Iterate a few times that afternoon until it’s correct. Then it’s handed off to developers. Avoiding months of rework.
