Sammanfattning
The aim of the thesis is to create documentation on a data visualization tool for a case
company. This documentation is used to allow more employees to learn how to visualize
data themselves without having to go through the metrics team. The creation of the
documentation is analyzed on both a process and content level, and the data is retrieved
through a qualitative research design. On the process level, the focus is placed on factors
for maximizing user engagement of the documentation. On the content level, the factors
when visualizing the data desired are focused, in order to best document the process of
doing so. The factors affecting the process level and the content level of the documentation
are determined through analysis of relevant literature, secondary research and through
qualitative interviews with relevant employees at the case company. For maximizing user
engagement, it was found that the documentation has to primarily address the process of
visualizing the data desired, both in regard to relevant literature as well as how to do it
using the software, while also presenting itself in a way simple enough to make navigating
the documentation more efficient and less time-consuming. For the factors to consider
when visualizing the data desired, three criteria of selecting appropriate graphs were
deemed most relevant and applied to the desired data accordingly. These criteria are the
structure of the data sets, the intended use of the graph and the research question of the
graph. Additionally, several data visualization guidelines found in literature were also
considered when visualizing the data desired.
