Tasks
• Task 1- Background information – Write a description of the dataset and project, and its importance for the
organization. Discuss the main benefits of using visual analytics to explore big data. In this you should include
a justification for using the visualizations that you will use and how they have been successful in other similar
projects. This discussion should be suitable for a general audience. Information must come from at least 6
appropriate sources (2 per student) be appropriately referenced. [2 to 3 pages]
• Task 2 – Reporting / Dashboards – For your project, perform the relevant data analysis tasks by answering the
guided questions provided (see Appendix for questions and dataset) and, identify the visualization you need
to develop.
Note: remove any missing data pointsfrom your visualizations where possible/suitable
• Task 3 – Additional Visualizations – In addition to the guided questions, it is expected that each student will
provide at least two other visualizations of the data (i.e. for a group of 3 students this is 6 extra visualizations).
These additional visualizations will be judged in terms of quality of the findings and complexity of analysis.
These visualizations should be using multi-dimensional, filtering and advance calculation techniques.
• Task 4 – Justification -Justify why these visualizations are chosen in Task 2 and 3. Note: To ensure that you
discuss this task properly, you must include visual samples of the reports you produce (i.e. the screenshots of
the BI report/dashboard must be presented and explained in the written report; use ‘Snipping tool’), and also
include any assumptions that you may have made about the analysis in your Task 2 (i.e. the report to the
operational team of the company).[1 to 2 pages]
• Task 5 – Discussion of findings – using the visualizations created discuss the findings from the data set. In this
discussionyoushouldexplain whateach visualizationshows. Thensummarize themainfindings. [3to4 pages]
• Task 6 – Executive Summary – summary of the data analysisincluding a brief introduction, methods used and
CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH 1103 Group Report Semester 3 2019 Page 2 of 4
a list of the key findings [1 page only]
• Task 7 – The Reflection (Individual Task)- each team member is expected to write a brief reflection aboutthis
project in terms of challenges, learning and contribution. [1 to 2 pages]
