Data Analysis
Scanning visual data in a business context.
Reading Business Data
In a professional environment, information is rarely presented in long paragraphs. Instead, companies use charts, graphs, and tracking tables to show data quickly.
When you look at a dashboard, you must use scanning to find the most important details. For a bar chart, you might scan to see which column is the tallest (the peak) or the shortest. For a project table, your eyes should skip the descriptions and focus directly on the Status column to see if a project is completed or pending.
Go to the next tab to learn the vocabulary, then test your scanning skills on the Revenue Chart and Project Tracker in the Practice tab!
