Data Analytics term 2 on all three tables: data science, data engineering, and decision process engineering. Per the catalog description it builds the communication and storytelling skills that motivate change and answer business problems, covering data visualizations, audio representations, interactive dashboards, interpersonal communication, and presentation skills. The catalog states there is no pre-requisite. Coursework Ninja completes D601 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does D602 Deployment ask once the MSDA core reaches term 3?
Per WGU's published description, Data Storytelling for Varied Audiences focuses on communicating observations and patterns to diverse stakeholders, which the description calls a key aspect of the data analytics life cycle. The course helps learners gain communication and storytelling skills in order to motivate change and answer business problems, and it covers data visualizations, audio representations, interactive dashboards, interpersonal communication, and presentation skills. The description states there is no pre-requisite for this course.
It lands in term 2 on all three M.S. Data Analytics tables. The data science (MSDADS 202408), data engineering (MSDADE 202408), and decision process engineering (MSDADPE 202408) concentrations each schedule it beside D599 Data Preparation and Exploration and D600 Statistical Data Mining, and it is the only term-2 course with no stated prerequisite, which is exactly why it gets underestimated. The degree page's stall list names the pattern: storytelling and visualization work underestimated because it reads easy on the course list. A dashboard and a talk track are deliverables with rubric rows, and varied audiences means the same finding told three different ways. Message us the code in your portal and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.

Coverage
What D601 completion covers
Storytelling that motivates change
The description's purpose row: communication and storytelling skills in order to motivate change and answer business problems. A pretty dashboard that moves no decision is the miss this course is built to grade out.
Data visualizations
The first named medium. Chart choice, honest scales, and readable encodings for the audience at hand, treated as graded craft rather than decoration.
Audio representations and interactive dashboards
The two media students least expect: audio representations of data, and interactive dashboards. Both are named in the description, so both are in scope for the finished work.
Interpersonal communication and presentation skills
The closing pair the description names. The live or recorded presentation of findings, adapted per audience, is where the varied-audiences promise gets graded.
Full degree plan integration
D601 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining master's list it folds into the flat $3,500 master's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
Where D601 stalls technical analysts
D601 is the soft-looking course with hard deliverables, and it stalls technical students who planned the term around the modeling course and left this one for the last weekend. These are the stalls we take over most often.
- One audience, one story: the varied-audiences requirement answered with a single generic summary.
- A dashboard that is technically interactive but tells no story, missing the motivate-change bar the description sets.
- The audio representation row discovered in the rubric after the rest of the work was already submitted.
- The presentation recorded in one take with no audience adaptation, because the modeling course ate the calendar.
- The course budgeted as the easy third of term 2, then reopened twice for communication rows the student never read.

If your degree plan shows DTAN 5221, this is the course.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. The description centers produced communication deliverables (visualizations, dashboards, presentations), and we confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake. The fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
Yes, the catalog description states there is no pre-requisite for this course, making it the only term-2 course in the core without one. In practice it pairs naturally with D600, because the findings you communicate come from the modeling work, but the catalog does not gate it. Both pages are linked from this one.
The skills will be familiar; the scope may not be. The description names audio representations and interactive dashboards alongside presentations, and the varied-audiences bar means adapting one finding across stakeholder types, not delivering your standard deck. We build to the course's frame either way.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining master's list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
