Business Intelligence Assignment - Business Intelligence Solution Development and Report
Unit Learning Outcome -
- Collaborate constructively in a team to use BI technologies for implementation of innovative BI solutions.
- Appraise and apply data warehousing architecture, technologies and development methodologies for business intelligence.
Graduate Learning Outcome -
- Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities - students are required to demonstrate an understanding of the business intelligence context and explain the BI technologies and associated implementation issues.
- Digital Literacy - students are required to apply BI technologies to find, use and disseminate actionable information.
- Teamwork - students are expected to collaborate constructively in a team to appraise business intelligence requirements and develop BI solutions.
Requirement: In this group assignment, teams of 3 students will implement business intelligence solutions and produce a report to explain the solutions. Students are required to apply the BI knowledge and practical skills and analyse BI requirements within transportation and logistics setting. Based upon the findings, students will provide recommendations and use analytics tools to implement business intelligence dashboards.
BI Solution Development and Report -
In the BI practicals, we saw how the MS Power BI tools interact with data sources to produce BI dashboards. This practical assignment requires you to demonstrate your understanding of BI and apply the analytics skills.
This group assignment topic will be on transportation and logistics analytics. As an analyst, your main task is to apply MS Power BI tool and develop innovative transportation and logistics analytics within any organisational setting. You may apply either real-world or artificial dataset to illustrate your approach (the different datasets can be combined too).
Tasks:
1. Develop the relevant BI dashboards using MS Power BI tool. Please present the BI dashboards first, then followed by the explanation of each individual chart of the dashboard.
2. Justify why these BI solutions could provide insights and why those attributes are laid out in the fashion you proposed (feel free to include all other relevant justifications). Note: To ensure that you discuss task (2) 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.
3. The BI report should include: 1) objectives and benefits of your BI solution, 2) BI dashboards screenshots and commentary, 3) overall findings and recommendations, etc. Feel free to make reasonable assumptions or refine the data as needed. You may create your own artificial datasets. Real-world dataset is not compulsory.
Report guidelines -
1. The body of the report should contain 'Table of Content', logically organised sections, and 'List of references'.
2. The contribution of each team member must be clearly stated on the Table of Content. E.g. Introduction & Part x (done by Alex Smith).
3. You may include figures, diagrams, tables and charts, etc.
4. For this practical assignment, the length of the assignment includes everything (e.g. Table of content and References list).
5. Reports should be written in Microsoft Word and submitted as a Word file.
