Upon successful completion of this project a company will receive
Final Project Output
The final project output can include one or multiple components:
- Project Statement of Work
- Technical data pipeline code and/or architecture (ie SQL/Python)
- Quantitative model code (ie Python/R) or cloud based API builds (ie Google/Microsoft/Amazon clouds)
- Dashboard files (ie PowerBI/Tableau) Business outcomes based on the analytic findings
- Recommended next steps
Your business will have a much better understanding of the variables that are summarized and interpreted. The descriptive statistical summary will provide your business with the knowledge to optimize the various strategies you run at your organization
