***Yout may modify some of the sections per the company they have selected but all students will need to complete a DR Plan for the Portfolio Requirement.

Tableau Visualisations

Create a dashboard that can help analyze the sales patterns across stores and their departments.

Dashboard should contain:

Two Controls:

1. A (Month, Year) filter.
2. A user control to select either one of the five markdowns or total markdown.
These controls should work across the entire dashboard. [10]

Visualization 1

A dual-axis visualization showing sales & markdowns by week. It should be divided into three parts, showing results by three store types – hypermarkets, discount stores, and neighborhood stores. Sales during holiday weeks should be colored differently from sales during non-holiday weeks. [20]

Visualization 2

A dual-axis visualization showing sales & markdowns by store. It should be divided into three parts, showing results by three store types – hypermarkets, discount stores, and neighborhood stores. [15]

Visualization 3

A visualization showing top 5 departments by sales within each store, within the three store types. User should be able to see ‘Store Type’, ‘Store’, ‘Department’, ‘Store Sales’, and ‘Department Sales’ within the tooltip for each department. [30]

Two Action Filters:

1. Source: Visualization 1, Target: Visualization 2, Visualization 3.
2. Source: Visualization 2, Target: Visualization 3 [5]

Finally, create a story providing any three interesting insights drawn from visualizations in the dashboard, while focusing your analysis around the four holiday weeks. [20]

Team Leadership/Management Style

Part 1: According to the Sarin and O’Connor (2009) article, certain style and goal structures of team leaders have a strong influence on internal team dynamics.  Based on your research within the article and textbook, as well as your own experience, what team leader management style would be most effective in leading a team in which you were a member?

Part 2: DeRue, Barnes, and Morgeson (2010) found that team leadership style effectiveness depended on the level of charisma exhibited by the leader.  Drawing from the article and the textbook, have you ever worked for a charismatic leader?  What style (coaching or directing) did that leader administer?  Was he or she effective in leading you as part of the team?
