Do you have a feeling that your tableau reports just copy your slides and Excel files? A good developer can quickly master the tool, but creating «appealing» reports, which are far more convenient, may be a challenge.


We mean dashboard design, where each element of the composition - graph, color, tooltip, indentation, action, font - everything works flawlessly for the sake of user's insight. This is the last mile of BI - it's a shame to make so much effort and not do it impressive.
Наша пешеходная экскурсия поднимет скилл не только аналитикам, но и всем специалистам, которые так или иначе имеют в своём арсенале бесконечные эксели, дивизии ВПР ()ов и необходимость переводить это на язык, понятный руководителям.
What expects you in the course:
01
Basics of perception

We won’t pester you with hour-long lectures on psychology, but we’ll analyze everything that is crucial for design in BI: the logic of perception of various visual attributes, cognitive load and sensory memory.
02
A lot about charts and dashboards
We’ll thoroughly analyze more than 15 basic types of charts for top corporate dashboards. + 2-3 "trendy" but hardly applicable ones (this is still in demand)

03
Lots of practice

Every day we will fulfill and analyze tasks where errors are to be found and fixed, or you need to choose the type of visualization and do it yourself, based on the lessons learnt.
