Sales performance dashboard for a retail chain

The brief

A retail chain's managers get spreadsheets they rarely read. Build an interactive dashboard of sales, profit and discounts by region, category and customer segment, and find where the business loses money. Good looks like: a clean data model, a dashboard that answers the managers' questions, and three findings with recommended actions.

What you will build

1. Clean and model the sales data
2. Define the KPIs with the 'manager' (your mentor)
3. Build the dashboard in Power BI, Tableau or Looker Studio
4. Find loss-making products, regions and discount levels
5. Present three recommendations

Free, open data to build it with

• Superstore Dataset ↗ Kaggle
• Sales Transactions Dataset ↗ Kaggle

Check each dataset's licence before you publish your work. Your mentor gives your team its own version of the brief (data, scope or region), so every team's project is its own.
