Dashboard Stories: Gamified bug bash tracking

We love a ‘bug bash’ here at SquaredUp, so we regularly encourage our developers and testers to down tools on major features to go after smaller issues that have been 'bugging' them. This dashboard helps us measure the success of the teams latest bug bash and adds a little gamification for some competitive fun! Using the Jira plugin in SquaredUp, we can stream our data on demand into this centralized dashboard for the whole team. Now we can easily see how we're doing against our target, without having to trawl through Jira.

Dashboard Stories: Observing Garden Irrigation water usage with SQL

This useful garden irrigation dashboard built in SquaredUp displays a series of data on system availability, water usage and weather conditions. Using the SQL plugin, it pulls data from the Arduino device, allowing me to quickly visualize water usage across any timeframe I choose. This means that I can spot irregularities in usage, which could indicate a leak. I chose to use SquaredUp dashboards for this project, as even though I’m only working with simple data, once you surface it there’s a lot you can do with it!
