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.

Designing dashboards is not easy. It takes years of practice and patience to master the art. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back! We’re here to teach you everything you need to know about designing professional-level dashboards in just over 2 hours with our online training course. You’ll learn how to design data visualizations, tell stories with data, choose charts and graphics that work well together, understand the end-to-end process of dashboard design – from start to finish – and much more!

Storytelling with data is now expected in many fields and industries. So skill-up in data visualization and dashboard design and then grow in confidence to present your own work. There are resources in this course to influence the next phase of your career. So don’t hold back.

At the end of our end of the Designing Great Dashboards course, you’ll have:

  • grids, icons, and an interactive workbook to plan out your own BI dashboards, regardless of whether you use Excel, Tableau, or Power BI.
  • insights and techniques on how to begin the task of planning and executing a single BI dashboard.
  • an understanding of how we use data visualization, information design, and UI design to create useful and practical dashboards.
  • a better understanding of how to use data visualization and business question to simplify, glean insights from data.
  • the ability to prepare a dashboard project, redesign/retrofit dashboards, and understand the power of users’ feedback in the design process.
  • a new set of data visualization influences and resources you can use to inspire your career move.

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.
