A habilidade com a qual analisamos os dados pode fazer a diferença entre um bom ou mau resultado. Um dos métodos mais simples na tomada de decisão com base na ciência é entender as tendências por meio de visualizações em alto nível. Ao monitorar o desempenho diariamente, seja usando um painel em tempo real ou simples representações gráficas de tendências, você saberá se é necessário acessar mais dados para tomar uma decisão de negócios.

For several years we’ve been given the gift of Big Data, available now as a result of connected systems and the internet of things. While we often have access to far more data that can help us make those decisions, it is important to understand what data is actually necessary and what is noise. The skill with which we analyze the data can make the difference between a good and bad outcome. One of the simplest methods in science-based decision making is understanding trends through visualizations at a high level. By monitoring performance on a daily basis using a real-time dashboard or simple graphic depictions of trends, you will know if it is necessary to access more data to make a business decision.
