Deploying and Publishing

In the past, deploying and publishing visual analytics was challenging for many organizations. The underlying data management and engineering pipelines were much less capable than today’s backend systems. In this module, we’ll investigate what to do as new analytical platforms enter the market and mature over time, how to stand out as a data visualization expert, and discuss considerations for creating custom visualizations.

Going Beyond

Consider what you’ve learned so far in this specialization. How might you use geospatial analysis or network analysis in your data science workflow? In addition, how might you design visuals to explain how data has changed over time? In this module, we’ll briefly discuss advanced features that can be used to answer these questions in Tableau. As you reflect on the course content, you will also finalize your capstone project, making use of storytelling principles and best practices for focusing and decluttering, and develop an information layout.
