COURSEWORK ASSIGNMENT2– Dashboard creation and demonstration (First
Diet)
1.0 Coursework Aim
To enable students to critically evaluate business intelligence tools and technologies
for a suitable scenario and to construct, from a given dataset, a performance
dashboard and business intelligence report. And to demonstrate their knowledge and
understanding during a presentation.
2.0 Assessment
The following module learning outcomes are assessed in this coursework assignment:
LO3 Critically compare, analyse and evaluate business intelligence and reporting
technologies.

Background
HomesForAllhave recently upgraded their IT system and now have improved data at
their fingertips. They would like to understand the benefits that data mining could
bring to thecompany. Like much of the data that other companies store in data
warehouses, interest in this historically lies in trying to discover patterns within it. The
updated systemsretain records of construction sites, clients, costs, risks, contractors
and employees.
Currently monthly programme and project reports are prepared manually, taking on
average 4 working days to collate, draft review and coordinate. This means that the
information presented at the monthly scheduled project meetings is at least 1 working
week out of date. This has led to known critical issues not being reported at
appropriate times and innovative business opportunities being missed.
Dashboard Objectives
Developing standardised programme and project level dashboard report templates
which use live data will increase confidence ofsenior management team and enable
project resources to be proactively directed to managing the projects.It is also hoped
it will enable project managers to deploy their skills to adding client value, rather than
reporting out of date information.
It is envisaged that the reports should not only display data but also develop sufficient
depth of data that insights and analysisof trends will become possible. Enabling earlier
risk identification and a focus on mitigation actions. In addition, quicker decisions will
aid budgets being spent efficiently and ensure people are being used productively.
Dashboard Requirements
The company board would desire the report to have a separate page for the
programme level (i.e. ALL projects), enabling a drill down into project levels
information and are open to any additional pages which provide insight to Time / Cost
and Quality.
The programme and project level reports should serve as a summary and do not need
to contain all of the information from every table. Instead they might show just
summary data. As a starting point, a detailed cost spreadsheet for the Dalkeith
project has been supplied. The HomesForAll board expect theDashboard to be aimed
primarily at Board/SMT for strategic decision making. The Project Reportsshould be
aimed more are PMs / Programme Managers for Project Management & Governance.
You will be supplied with a data set
Your task:
1. Produce a suitable performance dashboard and business intelligence reports
using the dataset provided. This should provide insight for the HomesForAll
board and allow them to shape their activities going forward to better serve
their clients.

2. Produce a PowerPoint presentation which compares, analyses and evaluates
suitable business intelligence and reporting tools for HomesForAll.

5.1 Marking Scheme
The award of points in this grid is based on the following general guide:
None - this criterion has not been met.
Substantial work is required - An attempt has been made but there is a significant
lack of detail and missing information. The dashboard and report are not fit for
purpose and/or the evaluation of BI and reporting is weak.
More work is required – Greater details is required to demonstrate knowledge and
understanding the specific topic. The content and layout of the dashboard and report
require more work.
Satisfactory (Pass)– The items produced demonstrate satisfactory skill in the use of
the tool and have resulted in an appropriate dashboard and report.
Greater
understanding of the dataset, the design and implementation could have resulted in a
higher grade.
Good - There is good evidence of knowledge and understanding of the theory and the
appropriate BI tools.
Very good - There is strong evidence of knowledge and understanding of the theory
and the appropriate BI tools.
Excellent - Excellent outputswhich demonstrates knowledge and understanding of
relevant area. Excellent evaluation of suitable BI tools.
