 Business Intelligence Application Development

January Trimester, 2020
Group Project

Firstly, this is a group assignment and should be completed in groups of 4 or 5 members (Maximum 5). Groups must be drawn from students in the same
Workshop session.

Secondly, A group number, issued by the Unit Coordinator, will be assigned to each team via email

Thirdly,  Marks will be allocated equally to all members of the group. If there is conflict within the group, the Unit Coordinator should be informed without delay.

Also, All efforts will be made to resolve the conflict. If the conflict is not immediately resolved, the Unit Coordinator will decide on a resolution in consultation with the group members.

Fourthly, the project has two parts: a written report, and a presentation.

Further, marks will be allocated for the various sections of the project as listed below. Late penalties, as outlined in the Unit Information Guide, will be applied to late submissions.

Lastly, As always, students are reminded of their responsibilities as regards academic integrity.

Background Application Development

Your BA consulting company has been approached by the Singapore Government who have to ask ed you to conduct an analysis of the death rates of residents and how this has changed in recent times. In order to facilitate your analysis, you have been provided with a data set (see LMS) from the
Singapore Department of Statistics shows resident death (mortality) rates by a number of different variables.

You have been asked to conduct several specific analyses:

1. How has the infant mortality rate in Singapore changed since 1999, and how does it compare with that of five of Singapore’s near neighbors?

2. How has the mortality rate of residents under the age of 5 in Singapore changed since 1999, and how does it compare with that of five other countries (other than those you compared within Q1)?

3. What were the most common causes of death in Singapore for residents in the 40-60 year are bracket in 2016?

You have also been asked to provide at least two other insights relevant to the mortality of Singapore residents you develop from your analysis.

If you have questions about the data, please post them to your group’s discussion forum where the UC will answer them as best as possible.

You will require additional data in order to perform your analyses. You should attempt to procure it for yourself. There is no limit as to what or how many
data sources you use for this project. Whenever you do include an additional data source, you must ensure that you include the relevant metadata in the
Appendix (see Section 1f of the Report Specification).

When students have attempted this project in the past, they have expressed concern about how poorly the data are structured, and how the data they
found from other sources was not formatted “correctly”. Unfortunately, this is what working in BA is like!
