Know your audience

Challenges

Lack of participation from business users

Best Practices

Conduct business workshops to finalize the requirements document

Low / No awareness about the business or domain

Data Visualization created in silos

Make sure you understood the data that is required

Get a sign off first on the design and layout

Break it down to individual parts / graphs / quadrants and take a sign off

Choosing the right visualization: few examplesVisualization Type Description Chart Type

Comparison Many Items Horizontal Bar Chart

Comparison Over time: Many periods Circular Area Chart

Comparison Few Periods: Many Categories Line Chart

Relationship Two Variables Scatter Chart

Relationship Two + Variables Bubble Chart

Distribution Few Data Points Column Histogram

Distribution Three Variables 3D Area Chart

Composition Few periods: Changing over time Stacked column chart

Composition Static: simple share Pie Chart

Composition Universe of content Tree Map

Repository of best practices

Avoid Scroll bar as far as possible

Facilitate definition of the visualization

Convert decimal points to a perfect integer

Make navigation really easy for the end user

All axes should be properly labelled

Good idea to show data quality % in the visualization

Avoid using special characters or short forms for labels

While displaying bar charts, order data in descending order
