####### Part 1: Project Background
####### The COVID pandemic brought a record number of employees to quit or to
####### think about doing so. A recent research by Microsoft (the 2021 Work Trend
####### Index) showed that 41% of the workforce is considering leaving their employer
####### this year. Companies are struggling to address the problem, and many will
####### continue to struggle if they dont really understand their workforce traits as well
####### as the true causes of attrition. By not understanding their employees, what
####### they are running from, and what they might gravitate to, company leaders are
####### putting their very businesses at risk (Mikinsey Quaterly 2021).
####### Concerned with the alarming resignation trend across industries, Contoso
####### (fictional company) C-level executive is keen to gain insights into their current
####### employee base so that appropriate actions can be taken to address this
####### challenge. As consultants working for a leading analytics consulting company,
####### your team has been hired by Contoso to provide an end-to-end visibility on the
####### status quo of their employee base and any insights related to employee
####### attrition.
####### Contosos data engineers have provided your team with access to the
####### semantic models that pulls the data from all their system. (PBIX file with data
####### arranged in a star schema and measures etc.).
####### There are two deliverables required in this assignment (30%):
####### 1. Produce a comprehensive visual report to present the key insights in the
####### datasets (15%).
####### 2. Deliver a oral presentation to communicate key findings to the the C-Level
####### executives at Contoso (in Week 10 tutorial) ( 15 %).
####### Part 2 : Project Deliverables
####### 2 .1 Project expectation
####### Your group assessment is designed as a Sandbox Industry Project which
####### means the assessment involves an actual problem in the industry, and was
####### proposed by data analytics specialists to support you in developing the most
####### relevant and practical knowledge and skill sets. Unlike textbook case studies,
####### these real project specifications will not have step-by-step guidance or a
####### solution template. You will need your learning skills, critical thinking and
####### problem-solving abilities, creativity and proactiveness to do well.
####### To succeed in this project, you will need to manage your learning process
####### carefully including demonstrating agency in performing self-directed
####### learning, conducting research, taking initiative, and more. These tasks are
####### expected to take an average of 12-15 hours (per week) of your time.
####### 2.2 Project deliverables
####### 2.2.1 Produce a visual report that encapsulate key insights
####### The visual report should contain a set of visulizations that you have produced
####### in exploring and presenting the insights from the datasets. Such insights may
####### include but not limited to headcount evolution over time, Job Positions,
####### Male/Female Ratio, Full-Time vs Part-Time Ratio, Employees Age trends,
####### Diversity and Inclusion trends as well as influencers of Attrition.
- Submission: Week 10 Monday, 1 August 4 .00pm
- Only ONE submission is required per team.
- Marking criteria: Please see Appendix for detailed marking rubric.
####### 2.2.2 Deliver a oral presentation to communicate key findings
####### The oral presentation is your opport unity to communicate key findings/insights
####### to the C-level executive at Contoso to address their concerns. You are
####### expected to leverage on different communication techniques such as
####### storytelling to create an effective and engaging presentation. Specifically, your
####### team will need to:
- Prepare a silde deck for the presentation (12 slides max, everything is
####### included in this page limit)
- Deliver a oral presentation in Week 10 tutoial (10 minutes max)
####### Any content beyond 12 slides (for the pitch deck) and beyond 10-minute mark
####### (for the pitch video) will NOT be assessed. A detailed marking rubric is
####### provided in Appendix.
####### 2.3 Submission and Presentation
####### During Week 10 tutorials, each group will present their work by sharing their
####### screen and have video camera ready. All group members must participate and
####### present, and be in virtual attendance at the presentation. Slides are expected
####### to be of a high quality and your presentation format should be concise and
####### suitable for senior management. Your presentation will be recorded and
####### shared with your industry mentors from Microsoft Australia.
####### 2.3.1 Submission Format
- The visual report should be saved in the format of Microsoft Power BI
####### Desktop Document (.pbix) and submitted through Team Assignment
####### Submission Link under the Assessments tab on Moodle page.
- The slide-deck with speaker notes that summarizes the key points should
####### be submitted as a single file through Team Assignment Submission Link
####### under the Assessments tab on Moodle page.
- All teams need to submit the files based on the following naming
####### convention: GROUP_ASSIGNMENT_COURSE_CLASS_GROUP NAME
####### i.e. GROUP_ASSIGNMENT_INFS 5700 _W11A_G1.
####### 2 .3.2 Late Submission Penalties
####### Late submissions are subject to a penalty of 5 % of the available marks per
####### day, including weekends and public holidays.
####### Part 3 Opportunities to Engage with Industry Partners
####### Project Introduction Webinar ( 6 pm, Tuesday Week 5 ): Your industry mentors
####### from Microsoft Australia will join us. The Webinar is designed for the industry
####### mentors to share their experiences and perspectives of the challenges in the
####### assignment and answer your questions.
####### Guest Lecture (Week 10): Industry mentors will facilitate a feedback and
####### sharing session. Details will be provided on Moodle closer to the date.
####### Part 4 Dealing with Group Issues and Conflict Resolution
####### Conflict is almost inevitable when you work with others. People have different
####### viewpoints and, under the right set of circumstances, those differences may
####### escalate to conflict. It is common that most groups experience issues at some
####### time. What matters is how you handle that issue or conflict. This will determine
####### whether it works to the team’s advantage or contributes to its demise.
####### Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing, though. Healthy and constructive
####### conflict is a component of high-functioning teams. Conflict arises from
####### differences between people; the same differences that often make diverse
####### teams more effective than those made up of people with similar experience.
####### When people with varying viewpoints, experiences, skills, and opinions are
####### tasked with a project or challenge, the combined effort can far surpass what
####### any group of similar individuals could achieve. Team members must be open
####### to these differences and not let them rise into full-blown disputes.
####### Understanding and appreciating the various viewpoints involved in a conflict
####### are key factors in its resolution. These are key skills for all team members to
####### develop. The important thing is to maintain a healthy balance of constructive
####### difference of opinion and avoid negative conflict that is destructive and
####### disruptive. One of the objectives of this project is to help you build
####### communication and conflict resolution skills. The following resources are
####### included to support you:
####### Guide to Group Work
####### Identifying Group Issues
####### Dealing with Group Work Issues
####### Peer Evaluation
####### A peer evaluation will be conducted at the end of the term to account for equal
####### contribution. Significant unequal contributions should be discussed in due time
####### within the group. In the case that a dispute emerges, the group needs to
####### discuss with the LiC as early as possible. The purpose of the within-group
####### peer evaluation is to critically reflect on the group work, to prevent free-riding
####### and to redistribute marks between group members in cases where free-riding
####### or unequal contributions occur. Claims of unequal contributions, especially if
####### contradicting the evaluation of others, will need to be substantiated with
####### evidence (e.g., group diary, personal diary, meeting notes, emails, Facebook
####### messages). The LiC will make a final judgement in the case that a dispute
####### emerges, calling in the group, considering earlier discussions and submitted
####### evidence. Overall, active and genuine collaboration from each team member
####### will lead to a well-performed team project.
