The ability to translate analytic results into clear, concise business language and
actionable results is vital for managers and analysts. Managers are often required to
present the results of their team’s analysis to executives and must be able to explain the
results at a high level as well as understand enough about the details to answer any
questions the executives might pose.
How much an analysis is valued can depend heavily on how well the results of that
analysis are articulated. Communicating the results of your data analysis so the
applications to your business are clear and explicit can greatly enhance the value of your
analytic work. In this assessment, consider how you can best communicate the results
that you wrote about in your previous assessment. Review any feedback you received
on your first assessment and use it to enhance this assessment.
Moving average calculations help interpret data. You can easily add a moving average
calculation to your stock price scatter plot and use the information to add to your
interpretation of the five years of stock price data. You will add the moving average
calculation to your stock price scatter plot for this assessment.
