What practice involves creating a mock-up of the dashboard to gather feedback and clarify requirements?

• A. Designing a mock-up to gather feedback and ensure requirements are understood
• B. Creating an accessibility product to ensure the firm can access the sales dashboard
• C. Developing a sample dashboard to show the level of detail required for the product
• D. Ensuring that all of the colors and graphics align with the firm's requirements

Answer: (A)

Designing a mock-up to gather feedback and ensure requirements are understood is about prototyping the dashboard to involve stakeholders early. A visual, low-fidelity version lets them review layout, metrics, and interactions and voice what they need, so acceptance criteria are clarified before development. This reduces rework by catching misunderstandings early. The other options address accessibility, or simply showing detail level or branding aesthetics, which don’t center on collaborative requirement clarification in the same way.
