Choose a metric you understand deeply, such as daily active viewers (DAV), and structure your answer by first defining the metric and its stakeholders, then presenting two distinct visualizations (e.g., time series and funnel) with clear rationale for each. Emphasize how each visualization addresses specific stakeholder needs and drives actionable insights.
Pro tip: Tie each visualization to a decision or action it enables for a specific stakeholder, and mention how you'd validate the visualization with real user feedback to ensure it's intuitive and effective.
Pick a streaming metric like daily active viewers (DAV) and clearly define it, including how it's calculated and why it matters to the business.
List the primary stakeholders (e.g., product managers, engineers, executives) and what decisions they need to make based on the metric.
Describe one visualization (e.g., time series line chart) and explain how it meets a specific stakeholder need, such as tracking trends over time.
Describe a second visualization (e.g., funnel chart or heatmap) and explain its unique value for a different stakeholder or use case.
Briefly compare the two visualizations, highlighting when to use each and how they complement each other to provide a holistic view.
