DataYoga marathon “Nothing extra” – who will benefit from a week of best data visualization practices
The demand for BI specialists and analysts today is quite high, because every day the requirements for data-driven management are becoming higher. Companies have to respond more quickly to changing operating conditions, and here they cannot do without BI with automatic collection of information from sources, processing of queries and their visualization.
“On the one hand, at our marathon we will discuss issues of interaction between analysts and business, the development of BI in the company and ways to organize data-driven management. But on the other hand, the marathon will have a clear practical focus. The low barrier to entry to the platform allowed our colleagues from DataYoga to develop a course that allows you to learn how to work with Visiology 3 at the advanced user level in an interactive format in less than a week and receive the necessary guidelines for further development.”

Previously, DataYoga held marathons based on Tableau and Qlick, but in 2024 it became important to prepare visualizations based on Russian software. For this task, Data Yogis chose the Visiology 3 platform – as the most widespread (according to the TAdviser rating) and user-friendly BI system.
“Visiology 3 skills are already in demand in the job market today because the Visiology platform is a solution that can become the foundation for enterprise BI practices across many business sectors. We have put together a short and vivid educational program on working with Visiology version 3 in the form of a week-long Marathon, which will allow each participant to gain practical experience and understanding of the principles of working with the domestic platform, based on cases, discussions with market experts and clear examples. To make the dive quick, we have collected useful links, opinions, best visualization practices, new materials on developing dashboards and approaches to designing information products.”
