Speaker(s):
Bill Saltmarsh
Duration: 120 minutes
Track: Visualize & Inform
This session is devoted to two of the most irreplaceable aspects of the analyst role, both of which allow us to uncover and communicate more truth to our users. First, you will see a roadmap for initially exploring a data set via a prescribed series of graphical analyses. These visualizations will allow you to uncover the most important aspects of a data set, eliminating the "noise". Then, you will learn how we can turn data into minimalist visualizations that make impacts. By focusing on the concept of less is more, you will learn best practices in creating views and dashboards that allow users to become truth seekers themselves.
