[All questions](https://jobicy.com/q.md) A Anonymous asked the community # Is it normal to include an unfinished case study? [Resumes & Portfolios](https://jobicy.com/question-category/resumes-portfolios.md) Asked 30 Jul 2026 Active 2 Aug 2026 [Write an answer](#answer-form-container) [Log in to vote](https://jobicy.com/enter4715.php.md) Question details I am applying for product analyst roles and have a dashboard project that shows my process well, but the stakeholder stopped responding before I could measure the final results. I could include it in my portfolio with a note explaining what I built and the expected impact, or leave it out and rely on older work with weaker visuals. Would recruiters see an unfinished case study as honest context, or assume I cannot deliver completed projects?

Include it if you can show a decision-ready dashboard without claiming unmeasured impact. Join the discussion ## Want to answer?
