Building a Narrative Around Data

Part of the Data Analyst Roadmap

In short

Sequencing findings so each chart builds on the last toward a clear conclusion — rather than presenting charts in the order you happened to build them.

How to learn this

  1. 1Take 4-5 charts from a past analysis and reorder them into a logical narrative.
  2. 2Practice writing one transition sentence between each chart, explaining the 'and so...' link.
  3. 3Learn to cut charts that don't serve the narrative, even if they took effort to build.
