About the Course

The Business Analytics Capstone Project gives you the opportunity to apply what you've learned about how to make data-driven decisions to a real business challenge faced by global technology companies like Yahoo, Google, and Facebook. At the end of this Capstone, you'll be able to ask the right questions of the data, and know how to use data effectively to address business challenges of your own. You’ll understand how cutting-edge businesses use data to optimize marketing, maximize revenue, make operations efficient, and make hiring and management decisions so that you can apply these strategies to your own company or business. Designed with Yahoo to give you invaluable experience in evaluating and creating data-driven decisions, the Business Analytics Capstone Project provides the chance for you to devise a plan of action for optimizing data itself to provide key insights and analysis, and to describe the interaction between key financial and non-financial indicators. Once you complete your analysis, you'll be better prepared to make better data-driven business decisions of your own....

Before joining this course i was not aware the different methods, techniques and tools of data analytics. This course gave me an immense knowledge bank to understand, read and represent the data

I'm sorry, I have to rate this one section of the Business Analytics Specialization low because the peer review feels like a joke. The content itself is fine but around half of the assigned peer-review is from years ago so the review doesn't really matter. The other half is just people submitting no work and asking for a free pass. And there's a tiny percentage of people actually submitting work related to the course and that is not from years ago.

I enjoyed the other courses in this specialization, but the capstone was disappointing. The course was not very structured and did not draw from the other courses in a substantial way. It was often difficult to see how the readings related to the projects. The course could use a lot more curation and direction.

If you have completed all 4 courses and got a place in the Capstone project - Go for it !! There are multiple benefits (1) its an excellent way of putting theory into practice (2) you will be able to interact with your classmates through peer review exercises - you may get some valuable feedbacks on your submission work (3) it provides access to additional reading material, videos which I found quite useful.

Pl don't expect any high level number crunching assignments. However you will certainly be able to sharpen your analytical ability, thinking through data, time management skills while structuring the submissions. Also a great sense of accomplishment with Specialization certificate. The project is accompanied with few Application Exercises that helps in revisiting and refreshing the courseware.

I have read some reviews where delays in peer feedbacks have been mentioned. I have not faced any such issue. Submit your assignment well in time and you will get all the support.

I compliment Wharton faculty for designing this excellent programme with a superb teaching pedagogy. I truly cherish every lecture.

Best wishes !

As a Finance professional, I find the Accounting and Operational Analytics courses very engaging. The hands-on exercises reinforced the topics really well. The Customer and People Analytics courses also gave me a lot of insights on using data in analyzing traditionally non-financial areas of a business. The Capstone project ties all the four courses nicely and really requires the learners to draw from the learning in the four courses in this specialization. This specialization is definitely a worthwhile investment for executives, managers, and analysts in the modern business setting.

Business Analytics Capstone walks us through the process of problem solving skills. It starts with a common fact: a company is at risk of bankruptcy. The assignments of this course helps us to identify the problem, design the strategy, measure the effects of the strategy and make a decision or recommendation that solves the problem and puts the company on track. I am proud of this experience. In the era of digital business, Business Analytics is a must-have skill. Thank you Wharton School.

I really content with the way of program lead learners to catch the idea and to write scientific research on business from the scratch with big data approach. To be honest I don't think I can make it, but in the end I obtained perfect score, thanks to All Distinguished Professors for the guidence and knowledge. I learned a lot during this time. Highly recommended to any of you who needs to gain the business analytics knowledge with data approach.

Excellent course, the analysis tools that each one of the courses that make up the specialization gives you, gives you a comprehensive vision of a company; In addition to combining it with a final project to test the knowledge acquired. First level teachers, presenting practical cases very specific and easy to understand.

Awesome capstone project! I really enjoyed doing it. We are able to practice what we learned thru the courses. The capstone is well structured. It started with problem statement, strategy, effects and measurement, and finally conclusion. Well done in putting it all together!

A good experience/exercise to recap and practice what you have learned.

The peer review should be confidential, i.e. not to revel the name of the person who reviewed it . It can affect/bias when the same person is reviewing the peer to who revised it and they disagree.

The Business Analytics Capstone provided you the opportunity to apply the learning from all the previous courses from Business Analytics in a very practical way to solve a case. This is very reflective of a real world problem.
