Wonderful visualization designed with the Head of Operations for a bike-sharing company in mind.
Victor Muñoz@munozdataviz26 Apr 2024
Yay! I had a great time exploring Oslo's bike-sharing system and created a visualization in #TableauPublic using open data from @oslobysykkel🚲 I wonder if these systems can become fully sustainable without relying on human intervention. #UrbanMobility 🔗public.tableau.com/app/profi…

#datafam let's crowdsource. Help me finish the sentence: I can tell someone is newer to @tableau when... OR I can tell someone is more experienced w/Tableau when... I spend a lot of time calibrating level of feedback for #B2VB, I'll start off with a few in the replies.

Know any resources or a good blog post for how to tell if a developer is experienced vs beginner just by looking at their portfolio/viz content? Like using default Tableau colors/fonts or leaving all the default gridlines turned on, etc. @KevinWee90 @ItsElisaDavis #datafam

Your book focuses on a major challenge that does not get enough help: how to hiring, manage, and inspire data teams for leaders. There's many resources for folks on our teams to learn new software and tech skills. But leaders of those teams are fewer w less support. #DataFam

Data viz/visual analytics leader seeking experienced mentor.  I'm a DVS mentor but need a mentor myself.  I'm a leader at Discover, Chicago TUG, and DVS Chicago but need guidance on where to grow from here.  If you're interested or have suggestions for resources please DM me.
