Ask HN: How do you visualise your business?
5 points by p0d on June 9, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I work two days a week on my own business by myself. My main income is a SaaS product and I have a number of other projects including websites and apps (apis) which contribute to my income. The income currently fills the gap of being an employee 3 days a week.

I would be interested to hear about how folk visualise their business. What do you go back to remind yourself of what your business is about? I don't think I'm talking about project management. The analogy of a map, rather than directions on how to get there, comes to mind.



Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Superset [1] is a pretty cool open source project for creating BI visualizations. You can create pretty much any kind of chart type.

I think it's useful for monitoring both technical metrics and higher-level business metrics like MRR.

Clayton Christensen (of "The Innovator's Dilemma"'s fame) co-authored the following piece. The concept is "Job to be Done".

Thanks, I’ll have a read.
