Although there are multiple detailed studies on the experiences of developers with vibe coding for software development, no earlier work was encountered on the vibe coding of analytics dashboards in particular. However, in an era of exponential growth in data volume, variety, and velocity, data analytics, and in particular, analytics dashboards, are highly relevant and can serve as competitive leverage for every organization. This paper is the first attempt in the literature to answer the following research question: “What are the practical project experiences of developers during vibe coding of analytics dashboards, especially in terms of challenges faced?” In this paper, experiences in two case study projects on analytics dashboard development are shared as lessons learned to guide developers, product managers, and project managers.
