The better that you understand what the visualization is trying to achieve (what will it help the viewer do), the more likely you will come up with a good solution. In the end, everything serves the tasks.

Note the plural: you may have a set of tasks. Often, there isn’t just one at a time. There are a set of things that a set of someone may want to do for a set of reasons. And maybe your solution will address many of these.

I was going to say “it starts with the tasks,” but sometimes you start someplace else (like you have some data and say “I’d like to do something with it” – but even then, I would probably say you have a task: figure out what the right questions to ask are!). However, in those cases, it’s really important to remember that task is key: the sooner you get to “what is this thing going to do for someone,” the better off you are.
