#1608 Data visualisation VISL: Make storytelling dimension more visible change request pending

he storytelling and narrative dimensions of this DCF capability Data Communication and Storytelling (COM) go beyond what any single SFIA skill covers. VISL addresses data visualisation and developing narratives around datasets (added in SFIA 9), and DAAN covers communication of findings to stakeholders. The DCF’s additional emphasis on persuasive communication, audience engagement strategy, and organisational storytelling culture is a valuable contribution.

This is the area where the DCF most clearly adds value as an additional, interpretation layer. SFIA’s approach (communication as part of doing analytics and visualisation well) is sound at the framework level, while the DCF’s decomposition provides richer guidance for development conversations. Rather than requiring a new SFIA skill, SFIA 10 guidance for VISL and DAAN could be enriched to make the storytelling and narrative communication dimensions more visible. 

Proposed change applies to Data visualisation
