This repository contains a full set of project management deliverables for a realistic scenario: migrating a mid-size company's manual, Excel-based reporting process to an automated Power BI / SQL analytics platform.
The scenario is grounded in real work I've done as a Data Analytics Intern — building Power BI dashboards and SQL reporting for stakeholders — but here the focus shifts from building the dashboards to managing the project that delivers them: scope, timeline, risk, stakeholders, and communication.
