Students spend approximately 2-3 months analyzing historical data using a variety of analysis methods. The results can provide in-depth insights into the history of your business, its growth, and its future with forecasting exercises. Project requires access to historical data that is already organized (e.g. excel) and ready to use; the different variables are consistently observed over time for at least 60 consecutive time periods (e.g. 60 months or about 5 years; 60 weeks).

The students will clearly identify the challenges/research question the organization is facing, uncover the root cause of the identified challenges, propose viable solution(s), and recommend the best course of action using appropriate metrics and data analysis.

More specifically, the students will:

1. Complete the data analysis;
2. Write a report summarizing their analysis and findings;
3. Present their findings in front of the class.
