Assuming the knowledge level of stakeholders

“

- Another mistake that I have made and learned a lot from is assuming your audience knows what you're talking about. A lot of times, when you are presenting analysis to any type of stakeholder, it's easy to make assumptions about what they know about variability or how they understand variability, and to gloss over certain details when you're explaining the results of an analysis. But it's really important to take a step back and make sure that the audience you're speaking to is aware of what you're saying. If they're not, there's going to be a lot of misunderstanding about what your dataset is capable of doing.
