Purpose: The purpose of this task is to provide students with practical experience in working in teams to write a Data Analytical report to provide useful insights, pattern and trends in the chosen/given dataset. This activity will give students the opportunity to show innovation and creativity in applying Watson Analytics and designing useful visualization solutions and predictive solutions for various analytics problems.
Project Details: Your task for this analytical project is to use analytical tool (i.e Watson Analytics) to explore, analyze and visualize one of the two given dataset. Your tutor will assign you the dataset. This dataset reflects reported incidents of crime (with the exception of murders where data exists for each victim) that occurred in the City of Chicago from 2012. Data is extracted from the Chicago Police Department's CLEAR (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) system. In order to protect the privacy of crime victims, addresses are shown at the block level only and specific locations are not identified.Your intended audience is a law enforcement agency's middle and top middle management. Your primary goal is to provide different and interesting insights in the lights of 20 questions listed below. The dataset could be downloaded from the following link
Task 1- Background information
Write a description of the selected dataset and project, and its importance for the firm. Information must be appropriately referenced. [1 Page]
Task 2 - Reporting / Dashboards
For your project, perform the relevant data analysis tasks by answering the above questions and, identify the visualization and dashboards you need to develop for the operational manager of the indicated firm. [2-3 Pages]
Task 3 - Advanced Insights: In addition to the guided questions, it is expected to provide at least five (5) insights of the data. These insights will be judged in terms of quality and complexity.
Task 4 - Research
Justify why these BI reporting solution/dashboards are chosen in Task 2 (Reporting / Dashboards) and why those data sets attributes are present and laid out in the fashion you proposed (feel free to include all other relevant justifications).
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 Task2 (i.e. the report to the operational team of the company).[1-2 Pages]
Task 5 - Recommendations for POLICE CHIEF
The POLICE CHIEF would like to improve the operations. Based on your BI analysis and the insights gained from "Data Set" in the lights of analysis performed in previous tasks, make some logical recommendations to the POLICE CHIEF, and justify why/how your
proposal could enhance company operations and could assist in achieving operational/strategic objectives with the help of appropriate references from peer- reviewed sources. [1-2 Pages]
Task 6 - Cover letter
Write a cover letter to the POLICE CHIEF with the important data insights and recommendation to achieve operational/strategic objectives [1 page]
Task 7 - The Reflection: Each Team member is expected to write a brief reflection about this project in terms of challenges, learning and contribution.
