  “Budgeting & Forecasting” – December 2020 Theme for Best Visualization of the Month Contest

  Posted by Leslie Cook (Adm) on December 7, 2020 at 8:42 am

  Hello UAI Members,

  I am a little late this month, but better late than never! It is time to announce the December 2020 “Best Visualization of the Month” contest theme!

  Please note that we did not have a member favorite in November for the contest. There were no submissions for the November theme, just questions and members hoping others would share…looks like we need to revisit the November 2020 theme…perhaps members will have more information to share on the theme in the future. Please know it is never too late to share on a monthly theme! You can always go back to any previous month and share…sharing and learning from each other is what is important! 

  Now I present to you the theme for the December 2020 “Best Visualization of the Month” contest…

  December 2020 Theme: “Budgeting & Forecasting”

  • Share your data visualizations/dashboards for analytics around budgeting, forecasting, starting over in 2021 (O&M expenses, capital expenses)
  • Share any and all analytics visualizations that help you prepare for the new fiscal year

  
  ICYMI… What is the UAI Best Visualization of the Month contest? 
  In collaboration with the UAI Connect Ambassadors — a team of member volunteers that help drive engagement and encourage member collaboration on UAI Connect — UAI will host a monthly contest on the Ask Your Network forum on UAI Connect. Each month, we will post a themed “Best Visualization of the Month” contest. The monthly theme will be selected by our UAI Connect Ambassadors. We also encourage you to submit your ideas for monthly themes on an ongoing basis. You can submit those to me at lcook@utilityanalytics.com or just post your ideas on the Ask Your Network discuss forum.

  This monthly contest is set-up to encourage you to post your data visualizations in regard to the given month’s theme. All during the month, we hope you will reply to that month’s contest post to share your data visualizations (no matter how simple, functional, elaborate, or complicated) and include a short description as it relates to your visualization. You can attached your visualization to your reply or embed it within the reply.

  One week prior to the end of the month, we will post a message to vote with a survey link that will poll members to select their favorite visualization. When selecting your favorite each month, consider criteria like, how automated is the visualization, where is the visualization pulling the data, how easy is the visualization to understand, etc. (of course this criteria is not required, but we wanted to pass along some example criteria to consider while selecting your favorite visualization).

  We will close the poll at the end of the day on the last business day of the month. We will announce the member favorite at the beginning of the next month. The member favorite will receive pride and glory, bragging rights, and a $10 Starbucks gift card! Our hope is this will be a valuable monthly exercise that is an opportunity to share and learn from one another, help encourage a little spirit of competition, and that you will have some fun!
   
  Let the December 2020 games begin!

  Have fun,

       Leslie​
