After completing this week’s Tableau assignment, answer the following questions
relating to the assignment. Do not use the questions as headings and provide short
answers. Rather develop 2-3 paragraphs that address the questions overall.
1. Audience. Who might your viz be geared towards? Do you feel you delivered
a clear and concise viz, considering your audience? What features did you
specifically incorporate to tell your story to your audience?
2. Visualization. Beginning last week, your visualizations will be incorporated into
a Week 7 Tableau story. How does this week’s viz play complement the viz
you created in Week 3? Do you think you will make any adjustments to this
week’s or last week’s viz to tell a cohesive final story? Why or why not?
3. What. What specifcally does this week’s visualization telling the audience? Is it
showing any trends, patterns, outliers, or any other relationships?
4. Storytelling. How did you incorporate this week’s lessons from the Knaflic
storytelling text into your visualization? What specific element(s) have you
incorporated as preattentive attributes?
