Overview

To make sense of all the data available to them, business leaders work alongside data scien�sts who generate data visualiza�ons to understand business ques�ons via analy�cs. This process gives companies insight on

what is working and what is not: for example, whether the products or services offered are mee�ng expecta�ons, or if a shi� in strategy is necessary.

Prompt

For this assignment, you will take on the role of a business leader who wishes to analyze if a new product their company has introduced is mee�ng the expecta�ons. Imagine that you would like to create a post in the

company intranet that summarizes your findings in an easy‐to‐read format for your team. Pay special a�en�on to crea�ng meaningful data visualiza�ons. You should use techniques that make content easy to follow but

that also display charts accurately without distor�ng or skewing data. Your company’s profit goal is 25% of the cost of goods sold (COGS). Remember, COGS is the cost of manufacturing the product, including labor,

materials, and overhead. You will need to build trust and an open channel of communica�on with other leaders on your team. Pay close a�en�on to the story that data visualiza�ons tell you and others reviewing your

post.

The purpose of this analysis is to be�er understand the cost, revenue, and profit associated with the new product launch. Review the Cost, Revenue, and Profit Spreadsheet retrieved from the company’s data center and

consider the following while developing your ideas in this assignment.

• What is the importance of data analysis?

• What are the results of your analysis?

• Think about your analysis and its findings, including visuals. Use visuals and text to re‐state the purpose of your analysis and summarize your most important findings.

◦ What are you trying to represent with this data?

◦ What kind of graphic have you selected and why?

• How did adding visual representa�ons of the data change your analysis?

◦ Does the target audience influence the way you display informa�on?
