DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question
After presenting a data analysis to stakeholders, they ask for additional details on a specific trend. The analyst needs to provide a follow-up report. What is the best approach?
⚠ Common exam trap
DA0-002 often tests the distinction between data presentation and data communication, trapping candidates who equate 'more data' with 'better answers' or who overlook the need for tailored, explanatory follow-up materials.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Provide a detailed written report with charts and explanations.
The stakeholders requested additional details on a specific trend, so the follow-up should be focused, clear, and self-contained. A detailed written report with charts and explanations directly addresses their request by providing context, visual evidence, and interpretation they can review asynchronously. This approach also creates a reusable artifact that documents the analysis for future reference, which is a best practice in data analytics communication.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a new dashboard with all the data.
Why it's wrong here
A dashboard re-presents existing aggregates rather than adding the requested granularity, so it cannot answer the specific trend question. Dashboards are the right choice for ongoing monitoring of established KPIs, not for a one-off deeper drill-down requested after a presentation.
- ✗
Send the raw data file to the stakeholders.
Why it's wrong here
Raw data transfers interpretation work to stakeholders and provides no analysis of the specific trend, risking inconsistent conclusions. Sending raw extracts suits technical peers who will perform their own modelling, not business stakeholders seeking an explained follow-up on one trend.
- ✓
Provide a detailed written report with charts and explanations.
Why this is correct
A detailed written report with charts and explanations captures the requested trend analysis asynchronously, letting stakeholders review supporting evidence at their own pace. It documents methodology and findings thoroughly, which a verbal follow-up cannot, satisfying the request for additional detail.
- ✗
Hold another meeting to verbally explain the trend.
Why it's wrong here
Holding another meeting delivers the explanation verbally, producing no written artefact the stakeholders can retain, circulate or audit, and it consumes further calendar time. Meetings suit interactive debate or consensus-building, such as resolving conflicting interpretations of a trend. Here the request is for a follow-up report, so the deliverable must be a document.
