Overview
Students will work in group of two in this project.

What to Do:
1. Data Identification:

Follow the link below to find a suitable dataset to be used as your source of data. (Choose one file dataset).

https://www.kaggle.com/datasets

2. Visualization Assignment:

One of the hardest things about analytics is helping the user to understand the data, and how the user’s organization is working. Part
of the solution for that problem can be addressed with creative visualizations.

For this project, you must use appropriate visualizations to create a dashboard that will help your hypothetical decision makers. The
dashboard should provide a mechanism to monitor how the factors are changing over time, as well as situations that are critical. The
dashboard should be informative and attractive.

You should be ready to explain the contribution of every part in the dashboard. We will be using Tableau for the visualization.

3. Analytics Assignment:

While it is useful to describe the data and the environment, the decision maker needs support from the system. Specifically, the next
step of BI is to predict the future. You must show relationships and justify predictions from the data. You are still supporting the
hypothetical decision maker your main deliverable for this assignment is a presentation that describes how you approached the
problem, what data you considered, and your predictions.

4. Presentation:

You may use PowerPoint (or equivalent) for your presentation.

How to Turn In:

On Moodle, you will submit your report including your dashboard and your analytics, as well as your presentation and the poster.
You will be scheduled for your presentation.
