Course Topics

Building Interactive Dashboards with Tableau – 4 hours and 31 minutes

As businesses collect increasing amounts of vital data, the need for effective, intuitive, and actionable interfaces increases every day. Tableau is part of a new class of business intelligence tools, which dramatically reduce the time and technical acumen required to derive insights from data and publish it in a consumable format.

We’ll begin by laying the groundwork for a successful dashboard and then move on to constructing five different dashboards of increasing complexity.

Starting with the Strategic/Executive dashboard, we’ll design a few of the most common dashboard elements and assemble our first complete dashboard. Next, we’ll show you how to use Tactical dashboards for visualizations that can help depict progress and draw attention to important areas. We’ll then dive into increasing the dashboard interactivity by using Operational dashboards when focusing on granular detail.

Using advanced techniques in Tableau, we’ll then show you how to use Analytical dashboards that can provide you with the tools to effectively extract knowledge from your data. We’ll also walk through how to quickly create a visualization using Ad-hoc dashboards that allow you to effectively keep an eye on a specific area of interest. Lastly, we’ll cover the styling settings and publication options and conclude with best practices.

This course guides you through the entire “how and why” of each task in the dashboard creation process, which will translate easily to your own dashboard projects.

Data Storytelling with Qlik Sense – 2 hours and 57 minutes

This engaging and practical course will teach you how to communicate and share data in the form of a logical, analytical narrative which can be understood by even non-expert stakeholders in your organization. Use your data visualizations and convert them into a compelling and easily visualized portfolio.

After defining your audience and stakeholder perspective, you will structure a narrative ‘storyboard’ to design your data visualization project. Collect and select data insights for your narrative by taking snapshots of your visualizations. You will then build your own narrative ‘storyboard’. You will also learn how to make your data narrative visually compelling by adding emphasis and styling. Finally, you will look at different ways of publishing your story in Qlik Sense Enterprise, as a tool which can be utilized depending on your organizational requirements.

By the end of the course, you will be confident enough about data visualization to create an engaging and interactive narrative to communicate your data in a compelling way for your organizational stakeholders.
