The Scope
Neither this document is a magic wand nor am I a wizard. I'm just an analyst. So, I may make it easier for you to manage your business and team with numbers to cope with COVID-19.

The Proven Process
I applied this process to different digital companies. Now I prepared the lite and self-directed version.
The Standard Version
I realized that the process I applied to increase profit in the whole digital businesses was quite slow for COVID-19.

COVID-19 Update
I simplified the whole process and added the sections where we may get the most effective and quick results.

Day #2-3
In these two days, you should determine the top most important 3 functions and success metrics of all departments and external sources. If you have time, you can add more functions. But my suggestion is to focus on the 3 most important ones.

The fastest management is visual. It's time to visualize the whole process. I will use Google Data Studio because it is fast and free.
Sample eCommerce DashboardsSample Saas Dashboards
Tool Selection
I will use Google Data Studio because it is fast and free. Alternatives; Tableau, Power BI or Qlik.
Dashboards
I recommend overview, executive and operational dashboards for each team. Use sample dashboards to be inspired.
Source Linking
Day #8-9
Time to fill the dashboard with data. Since our time is short, we should prefer linking our datasources manual and built-in integrations.

Built-in Solutions
I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence. It is the fastest and error-free connection in a short time.
Development
First, manual data should be linked. The process can then be automated by development later on.
Refinement
Day #10
There were too many KPIs and connections. Now it's time to qualify them according to their importance and maintenance cost.
