What you'll learn

Data Quality First: Analytics must identify and document data issues before visualization, as insights are only as reliable as the underlying data.
Stakeholder-Driven Metrics: Dashboards should address specific decision needs by aligning analytics with business questions, not just available data.
Evidence-Based Design: Use data-ink ratio, user engagement metrics to validate visuals and iteratively improve dashboards through data-driven design.
Usage Analytics Inform Strategy: Usage data shows behavior patterns, helping remove low-value elements and strengthen high-impact dashboard visuals.
