15. Chart Choice and Storytelling
15.3 One-Page Manager Story
Structure for Ravindra Bagale (Pune ops) — fictional numbers:
- Context: October extract, six Maharashtra cities, Blinkit + Amazon Now sample.
- Headline: Diwali week drives a sharp order spike; Pune leads GMV.
- Support chart 1: Daily orders line with spike marked.
- Support chart 2: City GMV bars.
- Watch-out: Cancel / return rows — small count but need reason codes next.
- Ask: Confirm staffing for next festival window in Pune and Nashik.
Story drafting steps
- Write the headline in one sentence before opening Python.
- Pick at most two charts that prove it.
- Add one data-quality caveat.
- End with one decision ask (staffing, promo, city focus).
- Paste headline + bullets into the notebook markdown cell above the charts.
What you should see. A notebook that a manager can skim in two minutes without reading your code.
Practice task
Using any fictional sample from Chapters 12–14, write a 6-line manager story and pair it with one bar and one line chart. Titles must contain the insight.
Thodkyaat sangaycha tar (quick recap)
- Chart follows the question
- Kill junk; put insight in the title
