My First TIBCO SPOTFIRE Dashboard

I think I started to follow She Loves Data’s Facebook page when I have this curiosity in blockchain world. Basing on their non-profit social enterprise name, of course they were formed to uplift women and be a contributor in the world of data/technology.

So why I am blogging about She Loves Data? 2nd of July 2021, I signed up for one of their free workshops titled SheLovesData : Dashboard Foundations. The workshop has four modules and runs into a month of session. As what I have said on my previous posts, I am a newbie in this world of data and that is the reason I am so enthusiastic in learning and picking-up some of the brains of experts. With a partnership with TIBCO and SMU (Singapore Management University) the learners received a free 1 year-license to TIBCO Spotfire® subscription worth US$1250.

Oh, wow! TIBCO! If you are an F1 fan you will definitely know that Mercedes-AMG Petronas uses TIBCO for analysing their data.

Dashboard for Module 4: #COVIDStory6 : https://bit.ly/3adbkU0

Let’s dig in to what I have learned:
Module 1 : The first week, of course is still a friendly week. Justin (our instructor) walked us through with the dashboard. We were immediately familiarised with Spotfire’s markings and filters. Basically, we explored the Spotfire dashboard as an end-user. It is only get-to-know week and our first assignment is to upload a photo card and state 2 facts and a lie about us.

Module 2: The agenda for that week is about Business and Analytical Questions and what are the uses of different charts. TICBO helps with Descriptive Analytics.

Module 3: Cleaning and visualisation. DATA: Deduce, Acquire, Tidy, Augment — The Development Data Process. That week’s exam is pretty challenging.

Module 4: We were taught how to build interactivity, bookmarks and stories in the dashboard. Of course, this is the finals and we were given 2 weeks to complete our last homework for this workshop.

The workshop will tickle your brain to build a great dashboard with simplicity and accuracy. Based on my experience, She Loves Data workshop truly is worth the time and TIBCO Spotfire is quite an intuitive tool even for newbies.
What’s next?

Since I have the free Spotfire for a year, I will use it and be part of my portfolio :)

Looking forward on She Loves Data next workshop for specialists! Yey!
