Introduction Here is a fun one to keep the map theme going: Bivariant maps! These maps are a good way to encode two variables on a map and give the user a way to see the relationship between the two at a glance. But beware, correlation does not imply causation. So, while for this map …
Introduction Every February for a few years, a group of data viz enthusiasts kicks of the DuBois challenge, where the community is tasked with recreating some of W.E.B.

Initially I thought this would be a rather easy challenge in CRMA but I ended up with a few tricky nuts to crack. Requirements …
Introduction As promised, this challenge is a continuation of my last challenge in week 3. The source data stays the same just this time we convert the chart into a kind of Gantt. While the dot plot highlighted the points in time when the stage of the opportunity changed, this chart focusses a bit more …
