What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced as a Functional/Business Analyst in a real project? I’m especially interested in situations where requirements were unclear, stakeholders disagreed, or something went wrong between business, analysis, development and testing. What happened, and how did you handle it?

I’m experimenting with creating custom Power BI dashboards, but I don't want to build another generic sales dashboard, finance dashboard, or KPI report.

I’m looking for unusual problems where data could actually make something easier to understand or decide.

For example:

• something you track in Excel that would be much easier to explore visually
• a hobby with lots of data behind it
• a personal goal you want to analyse
• a process where you want to find patterns or bottlenecks
• something where you have data but don't know what insights are hidden in it
• a decision where comparing different scenarios would help
• something completely random that would be fun to turn into a dashboard

It doesn't have to be a business use case.

What is something you would love to have a Power BI dashboard for, even if it sounds completely ridiculous or oddly specific?

I'm specifically looking for ideas that aren't the usual “sales / finance / inventory dashboard”.

The weirder, the better.

I’m starting to experiment with creating personalized Notion systems, but I don't want to make another generic habit tracker, second brain, student planner, or life dashboard.

The idea is to build a Notion system around a very specific problem or personal goal.

It could be something completely unusual.

For example:

• a system for learning a very specific skill
• managing a complicated personal project
• tracking something people normally don't track
• turning a hobby into a structured learning path
• solving a problem you keep running into
• something you've always wished existed but never found

I'm looking for out-of-the-box ideas, especially problems that could actually be solved with a well-designed Notion system.

So I'm curious:

What is a weird, specific, or oddly annoying problem you think could be solved with Notion?

It doesn't have to be a polished business idea.
The stranger or more specific, the better.
