How does the Tableau system work?

I guess my street baker needs Sales force to grow his business, now what? Do I know about his product

category. If he hasn’t got one - gotta build one from his menu, before adding that into the software.

whats the best way to showcase the increase of rental price - in the Tableau system. Do I need

another summary table to make it more meaningful -perhaps a seasonal price index of real estate in and

around Monaco?

• how does sales happen

• how does a business owner like to see the cash flow

• how does he wish to see the sales commissions distribution rollups

• how long should baker bake his bread?

• why does the yacht parking increase in September around Monaco and if it doesn’t, what does it mean about global economy?

• how does Salesforce process its report and what technology do I need to run it? How do i build one?

Seems indomitable to manage these? Isolation of these knowledge bodies aid in managing cost, isolate resource values and ensure effective progress. Drop a line!

More to come.. planning & estimation for multi-discipline efforts.

Next, will look at planning and estimation/proposals and resource needs- specifically when multiple domains knowledge - for e.g. finance, social engineering and spatial technology - are at stake. What happens at planning and later at implementations?
