DATA4100 INDIVIDUAL REPORT
Outputs:
1. An interactive dashboard in Power BI or Tableau illustrating individual and team key performance indicators (relevant variables) for soccer player and team market value
2. Interpretation and project scope report in Microsoft Word
Part A (Practice visualizing and interpreting data): Given a business problem and data, carry out a mini data visualization project.
• The project will entail creating an interactive dashboard and interpreting outcomes. (20 Marks)
Part B (Reflection on the theory regarding visualization projects): Relate the theory that you have learned in week 8 (How to run a Data Visualisation Project), as well as that from published articles, back to the practice. (15 Marks)
• You will be reflecting on the different parameters that define the scope of a project (as below in the instructions)
Five marks will be awarded for structure and referencing.
Individually complete Part A and Part B of the assessment and submit the assessment as a software file on the Portal plus a Microsoft Word file via Turnitin.
Learning outcomes: LO2, LO3
Assessment Description
DATA4100 INDIVIDUAL REPORT
Business problem: Sports Analytics
The European Football (Soccer) competition is big business! Teams compete with each other for the top spot on the league table. As a business, each team is listed on the stock market and thus you can buy shares in teams and follow the team’s market value in real-time. Increases in market value attract members, sports gamblers, corporate sponsorship, as well as other financial and social rewards.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) of team market value are variables such as the number of times the team plays during the season, the number of wins, and the combination of players (since each of them also have a market value). The real-time market value of the top premier league soccer players can be found on particular football websites, e.g. transfermarkt.com. These, in turn, influence player transfer value each season.

DATA4100 INDIVIDUAL REPORT
As in teams, individual market values are determined by key performance indicators. Possible indicators are player ranking, time on the ground and the number of goals kicked.
Business Question: Which variables (as KPIs) correlate with or combine to contribute to the market value of particular players and therefore the entire team’s value? Which team-level did KPIs appear to be most important in market value? Your dashboard and interpretation should illustrate the KPIs and relationships between them and market value at the team and player level.
Data set:
• You will be provided with data on individual players in English, Spanish, French, German & Italian Premier league soccer teams at the beginning of week 11.
• You will also be given a link to find the individual player market value
• You will be allocated a team to focus on by your lecturer and will have to search various stock market pages (Yahoo finance, etc.) yourself to find the market value of that team.
Original Source: (Santos will allocate the teams across all students and issue the player data and links near to the assessment)
• File content: There are 60 variables per player enabling you to do team level and player level analysis and comparisons
Assessment Instructions
Part A: Create and interpret a dashboard.
• After accessing the data and being allocated a team, prepare an interactive dashboard in order to provide insight into the KPIs influencing the market value of soccer players. Please have a combination
of team level and player level analytics. Show visualizations for at least three high-performance soccer players. In constructing the visualizations, also consider best practices, such as the use of pre-attentive attributes.
• Write 1000 words interpreting the visualizations you have created and their implication regarding player & team market values. Address the business question in your analysis:
o Business Question: Which variables (as KPIs) correlate with or combine to contribute to the market value of particular players and therefore the entire team’s value? Which team-level did KPIs appear to be most important in market value? Your dashboard and interpretation should illustrate the KPIs and relationships between them and market value at the team and player level.
• There are many variables and many players to choose from and given a specific team to work on, you should be able to create a dashboard that differs from those of the other students in your class.
Part B: Reflect on what you have done in this assessment. Imagine that you were going to scale up the project of analyzing and visualizing this data to all teams and were managing staff and resources allocated to it.
In 500 words provide a plan of how the scoping steps below would apply to your scaled-up project, given the main goal of assessing all possible KPIs influencing soccer team & player market values.
Parameters that define the scope of a project:
• Project Objectives
provide two main objectives
• Goals
Provide four simple goals
• Sub-Phases
Mention how you would divide the work up over time
• Tasks
What task would there be to do
• Resources
What staff members and resources would you need
• Budget
a plausible guess if you were managing analytics staff working on this project
• Schedule
assuming you scaled the project up for multiple staff to work on, how long would you need to do all the analytics
A minimum of five references is expected to support any of your ideas. Use Harvard-style referencing (see student “My Services>Academic Success Centre>Study Support Resources” on MyKBS).
Marks will be allocated for report structure and referencing (see rubric).
Submit Parts A and B via Turnitin on MyKBS. Ensure you submit it as a PDF file.
