Purpose
This assignment challenges you to analyze the data you identified as essential to building your improvement plan. In your paper, you will include a description of the data, visuals that enable your audience to relate to the data, your analysis of the data, and a reaffirmation of how you will use the data to make improvements. Approach this assignment in the same way you would approach using data in your current workplace to make improvements.
