A matter of time: Linking job titles to data visualization tasks

Created by: Martina Dossi

The visualization focuses on the relationship between data visualization tasks and job titles in terms of dedicated time. It has been submitted as explanatory visualization given the presence of many plots showing overall trends and relationship that should guide the reader through the complete story. The purpose of the analysis is to investigate how different professional roles are related to data visualization tasks in terms of devoted time, answering question such as: 'is there any difference in how time is allocated to different activities between job titles?', 'which role spend more time in each task?', and 'what are the other tasks explicitly specified in the dedicated field?'.

Why Do We Do Dataviz

Created by: Guillermina Sutter Schneider - Data Scientist

Many many times I have found myself late at night cleaning up some random dataset in order to create a data visualization about it. And I did it just for the enjoyment. Data visualization makes me happy and I could spend hours and hours doing it. From the very first sketch to picking the grain intensity of the canvas background or fixing the drop shadow, I enjoy every single step of it.

I have always wondered how other dataviz practitioners felt while creating a data visualization: do they also do it because they enjoy it? Do they do it to build a portfolio or to build a particular skill? These questions made me want to find out more about how many hours other people spend doing it and why they do it.
