Visualizing metrics via jitter plots
If you've worked with our team on custom reports, you will likely be familiar with the jitter plot visualization. This is a favorite way of ours to visualize Worklytics data because it is relatively easy to interpret, while also providing a granular level of detail around outliers and variance. See an example below:
To create these charts, we use the {Weekly_Individual_Aggregates}
dataset.
First, we take a person average for each individual that meets the inclusion criteria for the analysis, which helps reduce the impact of outliers on the end visualization. The blue dots in the visual above represent each individual's average for the time period in question.
From there, we calculate the median value within a given group among the person averages. For example, the median Product employee in the example above has 22 collaborators on average.
Note that this visualization method can be used for any metric.
