00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.420
<v ->Hey everybody, so this week we're gonna talk about</v>

2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:05.880
selecting the right chart, that's the whole focus.

3
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:07.380
How do you pick the right visualization

4
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.110
for the data that you have, for the tasks you're trying

5
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:12.690
to enable your audience to perform?

6
00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:17.690
And what's crazy is that almost nobody is taught this.

7
00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:19.950
Data analysts aren't taught this,

8
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:22.050
scientists aren't taught this,

9
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:23.910
MBAs aren't taught this, and by the way,

10
00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:25.410
those are the three groups of people

11
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:28.920
who occasionally are taught this,

12
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.540
but nobody else has ever taught it,

13
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:31.710
and even most of those people,

14
00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:35.520
most data analysts aren't taught how to pick charts.

15
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.820
Makes no sense, because different charts

16
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.290
do different things.

17
00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:42.120
You have to be very thoughtful

18
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:44.550
when picking the chart for your data.

19
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:45.720
So that's the focus of this week,

20
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:46.770
we're gonna talk a lot about it

21
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.803
from a lot of different directions, so let's get to it.
