What works well?
- Sorting the teams by prediction makes sense since this is an evaluation of their performance against their prediction.
- Including the logos so people can find their favorite team
- Including the numbers for the table position so that the reader doesn't have to count as they go
- Shading every other row helps break up the view
What could be improved?
- If you don't know the team logos, it can be hard to track a team across the table.
- It's hard to see which team did better and worse than expected.
- There's no scale for how "well" The Guardian predicted the table.
My Goals
- Focus on the difference between the predicted and actual results
- Try to create some sort of unit chart (I didn't have time to figure out the calcs, so I cheated with distribution bands)
- Make it easier to see if team finished above or below the predictions
- Finish in under an hour because we did MM live at the Data School and had to present to Eva at the end of the hour

The workbook is available for download. Try to reverse engineer is rather than me telling you. You’ll learn more.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that team A coming on the top hidden in white????
ReplyDeleteI needed some extra space for the annotations so added two dummy row, one at the top and one at the bottom. I made them white hoping no one would notice. :-)
