What They Don’t Teach You in Data Analytics Class: DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!

Learning Excel, SQL and Power BI is important, but there are professional skills you also need to develop as a Data Analyst. One of them is documentation. In this video, I explain: • Why you should always document stakeholder requests • What to do when a request is given verbally • How to confirm requirements via email • Why you should document changes to a request • How proper documentation can prevent misunderstandings The goal isn’t just to build the dashboard or report — it’s to understand the requirement, communicate clearly, and keep a record of what was agreed. Do the work. Document the request. #DataAnalyst #DataAnalytics #BusinessIntelligence #BIAnalyst #PowerBI #DataCareer #DataTips #LearnDataAnalytics
