Implementation in 7 days
A lean roadmap to get Centriu up and running in 7 days, connecting data, defining management rituals and involving the right team.
This guide shows a lean roadmap to get Centriu up and running in 7 days, connecting data, defining management rituals and involving the right team.
Day 0 – Preparation (before flipping the switch)
Before officially starting “Day 1”, align on:
- Project owner: who will own the rollout?
- Main goal for the first 30 days: E.g.: “Have a working command center to track MRR, CX tickets and key SLAs”.
- Teams involved: Growth / CX / Operations / Product / Finance (according to scope).
Illustration
Think of the rollout as building a “control tower”. You don't need all the airport's systems on day 1, but you do need the main radars switched on.
Day 1 – Set up the account basics
Access Centriu with the administrator user.
Check and adjust:
- Company name and logo (to standardize the identity).
- Time zone and default currency.
- Language, if applicable.
Create the first key users:
- 1 project owner (admin);
- 1 CX user;
- 1 operations / growth user.
Define the main channels/systems to be connected during the 7-day cycle:
E.g.: support tool, sales CRM, billing spreadsheets, paid media platforms.
Day 1 Checklist
- Account created and reviewed
- Admin defined
- At least 2–3 users invited
- List of systems to integrate defined
Day 2 – Connect the first data sources
Focus on what's essential to see the business:
Connect the revenue and pipeline sources:
- Sales CRM or contracts/renewals spreadsheet;
- MRR/ARR or billing data.
Connect the main customer experience source:
- ticketing system, chat, help desk or NPS.
Validate that the data is arriving correctly:
- required fields filled in;
- correct dates;
- funnel statuses and stages mapped.
Day 2 Checklist
- At least 1 revenue source connected
- At least 1 CX source connected
- Data sample validated (no “broken” fields)
Day 3 – Build the main leadership dashboard
Goal: have a simple dashboard that leadership can read in 5 minutes.
Recommended blocks:
- Revenue / growth
- MRR/ARR or billing per month;
- New customers vs churn.
- Operations / volume
- number of tickets, calls, requests or orders;
- open queues;
- main reasons for contact.
- CX / quality
- NPS / CSAT / average response time;
- first-contact resolution rate, if available.
Less is more
Start with a few cards. It's better to have 10 metrics read every week than 40 metrics ignored.
Day 3 Checklist
- Main dashboard created
- Metrics grouped into blocks (Revenue, Operations, CX)
- Dashboard reviewed with the responsible leader
Day 4 – Define short-term indicators and goals
With the dashboard built, the next step is to set realistic goals for 30 days:
- Choose 3 to 5 indicators that will be the “star” of the rollout: E.g.: MRR, resolved tickets, NPS, ticket backlog.
- Set short-term goals: E.g.: “Increase resolution rate by 5 pp in 30 days”; “Reduce backlog by 20%”.
- Record the goals inside Centriu (not in parallel spreadsheets).
Day 4 Checklist
- Star indicators defined
- 30-day goals recorded
- Leadership team aligned on the goals
Day 5 – Create reading and decision rituals
The platform only makes sense if it becomes a management routine, not just a pretty dashboard.
- Schedule a weekly data meeting:
- – Duration: 30–45 min;
- – Participants: leadership + area owners;
- – Fixed agenda (reading the numbers, analyzing deviations, decisions).
- Define owners per indicator: who is accountable for NPS, for tickets, for revenue, etc.
- Set up basic alerts (if Centriu has this module): E.g.: alerts for a sharp NPS drop, backlog increase or revenue decline.
Day 5 Checklist
- Recurring weekly meeting created
- Owners per indicator defined
- Critical alerts configured (if available)
Day 6 – Engage the team and test the full flow
- Present the platform to the team in a quick demo meeting:
- – show the main dashboard;
- – explain what each person gains by using Centriu;
- – reinforce that the goal is not to “monitor”, but to provide visibility.
- Choose a real case and follow the flow inside Centriu: a ticket, a campaign, a new account, an incident.
- Ask the team for direct feedback: what's clear, what's confusing, what's missing.
Day 6 Checklist
- Team raised questions and suggestions
- At least 1 real case was tracked in the dashboard
- Layout or field adjustments noted
Day 7 – First official review and next steps
- Hold the first official meeting using the dashboard:
- – compare the current week vs the previous one (or vs a baseline month);
- – list 3 learnings;
- – define 3 actions for the next week.
- Review whether the dashboard needs:
- – additional filters;
- – new breakdowns (by segment, channel, owner);
- – metrics to remove (what is not being used).
- Record a rollout evolution plan for the next 3–4 weeks: new integrations, new dashboards, automations.
Final summary
In 7 days you won't have “the perfect platform”, but you will have a functional command center, connected to the key data and driving real weekly rituals.
