University of the Cumberlands Data Visualization Project

The focus of this assignment is on understanding the need for a brief as part of the data visualization workflow.

a. Briefly describe a data visualization project (either real or fictional) that might be needed in your workplace. (If you are currently not working, feel free to create a fictional, business-based example.)

b. Consider that there is a preference by leadership in the organization to skip the creation of a brief and begin working on acquiring and preparing the data, then moving directly to creating visualizations.

c. Construct an essay that acknowledges the perspective of the organization in skipping the brief, but supports the necessity for preparing the brief before working with the data. Use reference-based content to support the argument.
