This course will introduce the principles for guiding the development of compelling stories based on data and how to use visualizations to assist in articulating key findings. Visualization and storytelling are important tasks in the lifecycle of a data science project and essential skills to communicate effectively. Data visualization allows data scientists to take complex data and present it in a way that is easy to understand, while storytelling allows them to add context to their findings and explain their importance. Students will learn various data visualization techniques for reporting purposes and the widely used software tools for implementing these visualizations. Students will also learn how to create interactive reports based on dashboards deployed on cloud servers to maximize client engagement.
