A STEP-BY-STEP

GUIDE TO WRITING

TECHNICAL
DOCUMENTS
FOR DATA

AMNA AHMED
MIND YOUR
LANGUAGE
Tailor your language,
level of technical detail,
and overall approach to
match your audience’s
expertise and
familiarity with
analytical concepts.

AMNA AHMED
STATE YOUR
OBJECTIVES
Define the purpose of the
project and document.
Include key questions you
aim to answer, and any
limitations or assumptions
made during the analysis.

AMNA AHMED
DEFINE A
STRUCTURE
Structure the document
with an introduction
(project overview), main
body (sections: data
sources, methodology,
analysis techniques,
findings), and conclusions.

AMNA AHMED
KEEP IT
CONCISE
Avoid jargon, unnecessary
terms, and “fluff”. Provide
definitions where needed.
Use bullet points and
formatting to keep your
message clear.

AMNA AHMED
DISCUSS YOUR
ANALYSIS
Detail the steps and
techniques used. Describe
the data collection,
cleaning, and
transformation methods.
Include any statistical or
machine learning
algorithms applied.
AMNA AHMED
USE YOUR
VISUALS WELL
Use charts, graphs, and
tables where appropriate
to convey data insights
effectively. Clearly title
and label them, and
include any necessary
explanations.

AMNA AHMED
FOCUS ON
YOUR FINDINGS
Explain the implications of
the results, linking back to
initial objectives and key
questions. Provide insights
and recommendations
based on the analysis.
Highlight actionable steps
stakeholders can take.
AMNA AHMED
REVIEW MORE
THAN ONCE
Review your document for
spelling, grammar, and
formatting errors. Double
check calculations and
formulae. Seek feedback
from colleagues before
sharing your document.

AMNA AHMED
BACK THE FACTS
WITH PROOF
If you have referred any
external sources (research
papers, articles, datasets),
provide proper references
and citations (IEEE format).
Ensure all information is
backed by credible
references.
AMNA AHMED
USE TEMPLATES
AND LABELS
Make a template out of
your first doc, to use for
future technical writing.
Use clear file naming
conventions, version
numbers, or dates to track
different iterations of your
documents.

things data, follow

learning together
