DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question
Which TWO are best practices for data storytelling?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the misconception that data storytelling should prioritize completeness or technical complexity over audience comprehension, leading candidates to select options like 'include all data points' or 'use complex jargon' instead of focusing on clarity and narrative flow.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Start with the conclusion
Starting with the conclusion is a best practice for data storytelling because it immediately communicates the key insight to the audience, allowing them to understand the takeaway before diving into supporting details. This approach aligns with the inverted pyramid structure used in data communication, where the most critical finding is presented first to capture attention and provide context for the subsequent data. It ensures that even if the audience does not follow every detail, they still grasp the primary message.

- ✓
Start with the conclusion
