The project I worked on with Sigma involved creating a migration assessment tracker. We fetch all the data from the Tableau server and the cloud through the metadata API or the REST API. Then our data engineering team puts that particular data through the Alteryx workflow, refines all the components, and pushes the data into Snowflake. We then connect Snowflake with Sigma. With that report, you can compute how much time it will take to migrate a particular site, how many workbooks exist, how many tabs are in Tableau, the duration required, and the complexity of the workbook based on the calculations. The report also shows if any workbook is associated with upstream workflows or how many published data sources exist. We brought this information onto Sigma and created our report accordingly to estimate the migration time. It serves the marketing team by ensuring that when receiving a project involving migration from Tableau to Sigma, they can estimate the time required. It estimates all efforts based on these complexities, the size of the Tableau server, and the number of users involved.
We use Sigma for all of our data visualization and reporting. It works off of Snowflake, so it pulls in data from Salesforce, NetSuite, our website, and Google Analytics. Via Snowflake, we're able to have unified, single views. Sigma serves as the visualization and reporting front end.
I use Figma for UX wireframes. My UX team creates the actual UI and prototypes to demonstrate UI behavior. Afterward, we collaborate with the PO and PMs to refine further. Once finalized, the UI wireframes are used as a base for developing the actual UI, leveraging CSS provided by Figma for consistency. During testing, Figma serves as a reference for checking alignment, font sizing, color, and behaviors.
The tool is used to create wireframes, grayscale, and high fidelity, but the major use case of the solution is related to the team's areas that manage user experience and UI design. Basically, I just use the tool whenever I have to review some prototypes, designs, or wireframes, and apart from that, I don't create anything with the help of the product.
Sigma is the next-generation of analytics for cloud data warehouses with a familiar spreadsheet-like interface that gives business experts the power to ask any question of their data no matter the query.
