Join us for this two-part interactive session designed to answer the key questions around generating dashboards and automated reports – Who will use them? What challenges can they solve? How do we ensure we are solving the right problems, not just creating pretty pictures? Part one features a panel discussion on data acquisition and cleaning efforts; how to ensure visualizations or automated reports deliver meaningful insights to key stakeholders; how to choose the right visualization for your audience; and challenges that we face when building a visualization. The second part features a Visualization Lightning Round, where panelists provide a live demonstration of a specific demonstration before the buzzer sounds! You will leave with the knowledge to build your own decision tree for optimizing visualizations or automated reports, with specific examples of successful deployment and utilization and lessons learned. This session is platform agnostic, with solutions that can work for varying levels of staffing and resources.
