3 Things I Learned About Data Visualization

Last week I attended the Netsquared event in DC about data visualization.

Here are three things I learned:

1. The planning process for data visualization is like every other technology planning process. You have to figure out your audience and what their needs are.

2. Data visualization is another form of storytelling.  You have to look at your data to figure out what story you want to tell.

3. Use of color is important.
