Although we set up some initial tasks at our last meeting, some tasks have made more progress than others, based on people's availability, data access etc. Given this progress, let's consider priorities and needs going forward.

Tech Stack

Alex has been able to make some great progress with Tableau, building out a POC (proof of concept), but he is currently roadblocked awaiting actual data.

Are we now settled on Tableau as our visualization platform of choice?

If so, how will we publish to the web? Obviously the links are publicly accessible, but do we want contextual information around what we're displaying etc.? Can we embed these Tableau visualizations within a WordPress site for example?

Given what we can and can't do with Tableau, does this now preclude the need for a user survey that we had identified in our previous meeting?

Similarly, does it diminish the requirement for UX concepts?

Data Entry

It seems like spreadsheet data from candidates is not forthcoming. Do we need to set up a data entry option and call for volunteers?
