Why do presentations matter?
Data is useless without the ability to interpret it and tell a story. The results drawn from hours of code or research can be immediately disregarded without proper preparation to understanding of the audience you are presenting to. Therefore, a good analyst will know the ins and outs of many programs, but a great analyst will know how to communicate a message to stakeholders.
