Data visualization is especially important today with the increased amount and velocity of data that companies capture every single day, and a system is needed to ingest and make sense of all this data for improved decision-making. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of data visualization within the context of business intelligence. It begins by covering the foundational concepts, advantages, and risks associated with data visualization (LO1). We then shift our focus to the specialized tool Qlik Sense, examining its key features, competitive advantages, workflow, and terminology (LO2). Finally, the course provides hands-on experience in creating simple interactive visualizations using real-life data (LO3). As a foundational course of a series of three Qlik Sense learning opportunities, "Introduction to Data Visualization" sets the foundation, introducing you to the art and science of visualizing data effectively. In "Exploration and Visualization with Qlik Sense," you'll go deeper, honing your skills in navigating and presenting data with this powerful tool. Finally, "Advanced Data Analysis and Collaboration" takes your expertise to new heights, equipping you with advanced techniques to analyze and collaborate on data-driven insights.
