Considerations
Remember, the people reading your analysis will NOT be data analysts. Your
audience will be general public . Your data and analysis need to be presented in a
way that is focused, concise, easy-to-understand, and visually compelling. Your
visualizations should be colourful enough to be included in press releases, and your
analysis should be thoughtful enough for dictating programmatic changes.
Assessment
Your final product will be assessed on the following metrics:
Analytic Rigor
Readability
Visual Attraction
Hints
You may need to get creative in how you combine each of the CSV files. Don't
just assume Tableau is the right tool for the job. At this point, you have a
wealth of technical skills and research abilities. Dig for an approach that works
and just go with it.
Don't just assume the CSV format hasn't changed since 2013. Subtle
changes to the formats in any of your columns can blockade your analysis.
Ensure your data is consistent and clean throughout your analysis. (Hint: Start
and End Time change at some point in the history logs).
Consider building your dashboards with small extracts of the data (i.e. single
files) before attempting to import the whole thing. What you will find is that
importing all 20+ million records of data will create performance issues
quickly. Welcome to "Big Data."
While utilizing all of the data may seem like a nice power play, consider the
time-course in making your analysis.
As is often the case, your clients are asking for a LOT of answers. Be
considerate about their need-to-know and the importance of not "cramming in
everything". Of course, answer each question, but do so in a way that is
organized and presentable.
Keep a close eye for obvious outliers or false data. Not everyone who signs
up for the program is answering honestly.
Don't be afraid to manipulate your data and play with settings in Tableau.
Tableau is meant to be explored. We haven't covered all that you need -- so
you will need to keep an eye out for new tricks.
Good luck!
