Data storytelling can feel like a misnomer. How can it be storytelling if the story evolves over time or mutates with the interactions of the user? Perhaps we need a new term like story-finding, story-framing , or choose-your-own-adventure. The things we call data stories fall on a spectrum of flexibility, from explanatory to exploratory: A static narrative with a message intended to be consistent across the audience.

No Transactional Power. Unlike a line manager, you usually don’t manage the development team and stakeholders as the person in charge of the product, and the individuals don’t report to you. You consequently don’t have any transactional power : You cannot tell people what to do; you cannot assign tasks to them; and you are typically not in a position to offer a bonus, pay raise, or other incentives.

Data visualization combines technologies (visual representations of quantitative data) with specific skills (techniques for creating and interacting with those visual representations) to make sense of and communicate quantitative data. It does not replace the other technologies and skillsets that are also needed to derive value from quantitative data; it complements them.
