How Data Viz Can Save Your Thanksgiving

Well it looks like the gantt chart (tip #87) has become a Thanksgiving tradition here at Data Viz for Nonprofits. Thanksgiving involves many more dishes than you would normally serve in one meal. Even if you are cooking for just those in your household (and I hope you are), logistics are key. So I give you my color-coded gantt chart. I use it every year, and it works like a charm. I took all my recipe data and came up with this chart to make sure I had my timing right. Made it in good old Excel. Nothing fancy, but it did the trick. Feel free to adapt it to your recipes or perhaps your next fundraising event!

Happy Turkey/Tofurky Day.

Let’s talk about YOUR data!

Got the feeling that you and your colleagues would use your data more effectively if you could see it better? Data Viz for Nonprofits (DVN) can help you get the ball rolling with an interactive data dashboard and beautiful charts, maps, and graphs for your next presentation, report, proposal, or webpage. Through a short-term consultation, we can help you to clarify the questions you want to answer and goals you want to track. DVN then visualizes your data to address those questions and track those goals.
