Terminology
Thanks to Aurélien Vautier for sharing with us this interesting cheatshee. As Aurélien said: It took me 3 years to figure it out. I wasted time, energy and It was a lot of frustration. Terminology chaos is a disaster for your business. Is it a measure, a metric or a KPI ? The choice and weight of the words and acronyms we use every day must be incredibly precise. We can't afford to use vague terminology when talking about development projects or dashboard migrations. To be honest, until very recently, I used to mix up certain terms, which sometimes made communication comical or even frustrating. This cheatsheet contains clarification about the following terms : A : Data Story Framing and Data Story Telling. B : Measure, Metric and KPI. C : Bar Chart, Histogram. D : Reporting, Analysis report, Dashboard. E : Chart, Graph, Plot, Diagram. F : UX Design, UI Design. G : Design Process, Design System. H : Aggregation, Granularity. Which one is clearer to you now ? I've struggled a lot with B, E and F. If you've learned something, share, like or tag someone who needs to see it. Each illustration can take up to 15 hours to complete. I really appreciate your support. Thank you very much for the inspiration Brent Dykes (A) and The Interaction Design Foundation (F). Some of them are an interpretation of my own experience. For the high resolution image, please follow and DM me, I'll be happy to share it with you. Source: Aurélien Vautier, LinkedIn
