CIS4008-N Big Data and Business Intelligence.
Assignment - Business Intelligence Solution and Report
Assessment
"Business Intelligence (BI) is the use of computing technologies, applications, and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information. Business Intelligence solutions provide current, historical, and predictive views of internally structured data for products and departments by establishing more effective decision-making and strategic operational insights."
For this In-Course Assessment (ICA) you are required to design and implement a Business Intelligence (BI) Solution from an Industry based dataset using Microsoft Power BI.
You will submit a final written Report* to present your BI design and solution.
*Report: The term report is used to denote a Word document but you may utilise Powerpoint to present part of the design and implementation of your BI Solution with supporting artefacts.
You are required to submit your ICA to the submission link on Blackboard by the due date.
ICA Requirements & Logistics
The assessment is individual based and you are required to produce a Business Intelligence Report covering a BI Design and Solution to an industry-based dataset.
The report should mainly consists of images or screenshots with wording kept bullet point or summative. The report is to be about 1200 words and including the following two sections:
Section 1: Business Intelligence Design
Students will be required to identify the Business Intelligence Scope and outline the BI Questions and BI Data Source Description. In addition, the student is able to demonstrate the ability for data pre-processing in terms of both data cleansing and data modelling.
Demonstrate the ability to prepare a dataset for data analytics and data visualisation.
1a: BI Questions and BI Data Source Description 1b: BI Data Pre-Processing and Data Cleansing 1c: BI Data Modelling via Star Schema
This will assess the student`s ability to demonstrate data integration and analysis skills required to support business intelligence solutions using Power BI (assess Learning Outcome 1, 2 & 3).
Section 1 should include annotated screenshots of the BI design, data cleansing and the data modelling of the dataset in PowerBI.
The annotation should be in bullet point format or a basic instruction set in order to replicate your BI design, data cleansing and the modelling of the dataset in PowerBI.
