Do I need to be an expert at Excel, Power BI, or Tableau?
Not at all. With the Datalabs Agency's Designing Great Dashboards Course, you'll be trained on how to take your dashboard design to the next level. But pencil and paper are all you need. Learn how to strategically set up your dashboard to ask specific questions and visualize insightful answers. Business intelligence dashboards are a widely-used and highly effective medium for visualizing data. However, the mistakes data analysts and data scientists often make are in the steps before visualizing the data in a Power BI or Tableau. Sketch out your ideas, fail fast, and revise — that's what we believe and teach. Once you and your dashboard's audiences are happy — then you can start to develop your designs in any software. Our data design process is software agnostic — meaning you don't need to be a Tableau or Power BI wizard to get the full benefit of this course.

What differentiates this course from the other data visualization and dashboard courses?
Most dashboard design books and courses are written by academics or those that have limited real-world experience.
Our data visualization agency has seen the same mistakes made over and over again, so we decided to create this course that cuts straight to the point. This course isn't based on theory or academic research - it's based on our own experience working with hundreds of companies in dozens of industries.
This is the only course you'll need if you're looking for an easy-to-follow process for designing dashboards from scratch. While we show the creation of a fully functioning dashboard in Microsoft Power BI, we designed it for everybody, regardless of tool and expertise. It works whether you're new to data visualization or just want to learn a better method for designing BI dashboards.
