A free and collaborative taxonomy of Data Storytelling tools

From my point of view, there is actually on the market no real data storytelling tool. You can pick one or a couple of storytelling functions in each identified tool. But there’s a long road until we could buy a user-oriented data storytelling and presentation tool. And no one can tell today if it will come from the Presentation category (adding data capabilities to PowerPoint; for example), from the BI category (adding presentation capabilities to BI tools), or from storytelling tools like web documentary software adding data and graphics. Data Storytelling tools are a new market. Interesting times will come during the next years.

If you know a data storytelling tool I forgot, or if you have any comment about one of the tools I referenced, please share your thought. You can comment this article or send me an email at philippe.nieuwbourg@decideo.com.

Of course, you can use the map, reproduce it, modify it for your own research, but I would appreciate if you keep a link with this blog, mentioning author’s name and blog’s URL.

I created the map using Xmind. A free version of Xmind is available on their web site. If you use another mind mapping tool, you can import this Xmind map in your own tool.
