DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are effective techniques for presenting data to a non-technical audience?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the misconception that non-technical audiences need more data (tables, statistics) to understand insights, when in fact they need less—focusing on simplicity, visual emphasis, and clear language—so candidates mistakenly choose options A, B, or D thinking they are thorough.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Highlight the most important insights using callouts.
Highlighting key insights with callouts directly addresses the needs of a non-technical audience by drawing attention to the most important findings without requiring them to interpret complex data. This technique aligns with best practices for data storytelling, where visual emphasis on critical points improves comprehension and retention for stakeholders who may not have a technical background.
