In 2020, a large amount of data will be created, 50 times bigger than 2011. And 75 times the number of information sources (IDC,2011). Possible use of these data offers huge opportunities and to make these opportunities into reality, everyone needs to use data to solve issues.

This specialization, in cooperation with Tableau, is for newcomers, who are new to data visualization without  experience  using Tableau. Tableau’s library of resources is leveraged to illustrate great practices for data visualization and data storytelling. You will view examples from actual international enterprise instances and journalistic examples from leading media firms.

When this specialization ends, you will be able to make powerful reports and dashboards that will help people make decisions and take action based on their business data. You will use Tableau to create high-effect visualizations of common data analyses to help you see and understand your data. You will apply predictive analytics to improve business decision making. The Specialization culminates in a Capstone Project in which you will use pattern data to create visualizations, dashboards, and data models to prepare a presentation to the executive leadership of a fictional company. 

What you will learn:

•  Examine, navigate, and learn to use the various features of Tableau

• Create and design visualizations and dashboards for your intended audience

• Assess the quality of the data and perform exploratory analysis

•  Combine the data to and follow the best practices to present your story
