Executive Summaries for Data Findings
Part of the Data Analyst Roadmap
In short
A 3-5 sentence summary at the top of any report — what you found, why it matters, and what you recommend — written for someone who will only ever read this part.
How to learn this
- 1Write an executive summary for a past analysis in under 100 words.
- 2Practice the structure: finding, so-what, recommendation.
- 3Get feedback from someone who wasn't involved in the analysis on whether it's clear.
