Kerry Kolosko digs into data visualization theory:
Power BI development is a relatively straight forward process when managed by one individual start to finish. But when the development process is shared among team members, ways of working need to be established and common work management frameworks such as agile, lean, HCD and UI/UX Design are adopted.
These frameworks can be useful for teams but as always, the rigid adoption and adherence to frameworks can cause project inefficiencies. It took a fair bit of corporate learning to acknowledge that applying Agile methodologies to a construction project and waterfall methodologies to a software project, weren’t effective.
There’s a lot in here around pros and cons of various tooling (like wireframing), visual selection, the grammar of graphics, and what smoothed lines actually represent. Smoothed lines is a bit of a hobby horse for me, as those smoothed lines represent a model of the data rather than the actual data, so if you show me the former, you’d better also show the latter.
