Choose a topic for a project. Ideally, the data should be business related. Understanding, that business data may not be openly available, you may use any data that is publicly available. In this case your proposal has to include a determination of how a real or fictional business can benefit from the project. 1) Title of the project 2) Brief description of the project (about one paragraph) 3) Benefit for business (about one paragraph) including KPI when applicable 4) Plan the structure of the report with suggested visualizations. For each visual component (at least three) provides a proposed goal of the visualization and the type of the visualization you will use. Phase 2: Data Preparation/ Data Analysis all your data sources should be identified, data being obtained, cleaned, and pre- processed. The key points of the story should be defined and supported with data. Preliminary analysis should be conducted. No visualizations are needed at this point, but your data and preliminary analysis should be ready for visualizations. Submit a short report on the story structure, a description of the data sources, data preparation and analysis, and the description of future visualizations that will illustrate the results of the analysis. Note, that for those parts of the story where visual analysis will be conducted, you should describe the data and expected results. The actual visual analysis is due in Phase 3. You are encouraged to use Tableau and/or Python to create data visualization. Phase 3: Final Report Your report may be created as a Tableau story or as Word or HTML document with embedded visualizations. In any case, all work materials (Tableau, Python code, datasets, or links on a dataset) should be provided as well). The final report should include:

1) Title of the project 2) Brief description of the project (about one paragraph) 3) Benefit for business (about one paragraph) including KPI when applicable 4) Data visualizations and visual analysis reports supported by the textual description* 5) Conclusions 6) References * The report should be narrated as a story with the exception of dashboards projects, which have to include screenshots and detailed descriptions of dashboards. Important: Submit your report file (preferably PDF) as a post in the Unit 8 discussion board (no data or code attachments are needed).
