Project Overview Project 8 of udacity's data analyst nanodegree

For this project, I created a data visualization using Tableau that tells a story or highlights trends or patterns in a data set. the work is a reflection of the theory and practice of data visualization, such as visual encodings, design principles, and effective communication.

What do I need to install? Before working on the project, I had Tableau Desktop installed. You will need a software license to use Tableau Desktop.

This project will touch on the overarching attitudes and beliefs important to effective data visualization, such as:

visualization is a dialog showcasing and sharing visualizations with others visualization is a fluid process that typically requires multiple iterations of improvements experiencing the end-to-end process of creating effective data visualizations and highlighting important information from data that may otherwise be hidden or hard to uncover.

After completing the project, you will be able to:

Demonstrate the ability to choose optimal visual elements to encode data and critically assess the effectiveness of a visualization Communicate a story or finding to the appropriate audience using interactive visualizations Undergo the iterative process of creating a visualization, and build interactive visualizations with Tableau Why is this Important to my Career? Data analyst are storytellers that can translate data findings that other people can easily understand. They view data visualization as an important form of communication.

If you, as a data analyst, can create visualizations to explore data, articulate clear findings to drive business decisions, or use data to elicit consensus from diverse perspectives, then you will be a deeply invaluable member on your team.
