This time, you will choose a dataset that is related to your topic from
various data sources (e.g. Kaggle.com; data.gov.au; abs.gov.au; GitHub
Open-data etc.) and explain why you have picked the particular data set.
Based on your problem definition, you will profile data and make a data
dictionary. You will choose other relevant data (external) to create some
useful insights to solve the problem. Out of several BI tools available, you
will compare features of at least 3 and choose one of them to create
visualisations for the meaningful insights. The Interpretation of those
visualisations is important. Discuss other alternative visualisations to
enhance the insights and help making better decisions as a solution to the
problem.
