Data analytics is transforming the way businesses operate. But organizations often struggle with identifying opportunities for data-driven decision making and defining a clear analytics project plan to tackle them. This beginner-level specialization aims to help business leaders, managers, analysts, and data scientists become better at successfully ideating, refining, planning, and executing data analytics projects as a team. This specialization will help learners develop these skills through four courses that demonstrate the design sprint process for different types of analytics projects. Each course will have 3 key components: fundamental concepts, use cases, problem identification, and solutioning to develop analytics project ideas.
