Dashboard Design for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Dashboard Design for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through DAX and calculated measures and self service analytics without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, visual encoding choices and pivot table analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put spreadsheet controls on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against established visualisation principles
- Make a decision about visual encoding choices without waiting for a specialist
- Review pivot table analysis and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of scenario modelling rather than escalating it
