IT 520 Milestone 2 2 I hope this message finds you well. As I approach the final submission of my project in Module Nine, I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss a few aspects and seek clarification on some points to ensure the successful completion of the final project. Project Understanding: Do you have any specific expectations or considerations that should be taken into account for the final submission? I want to ensure that my understanding aligns with your expectations. 1.Comprehensive Data Collection and Preparation: - Gathering historical and current data on various factors relevant to the decision- making process. - Cleaning and preprocessing the data to handle missing values and outliers. - Transforming the data into a suitable format for analysis, ensuring consistency and accuracy. 2. Identification of Key Factors for Decision Model: - Identifying and categorizing key factors such as financial considerations, rental considerations, market trends, and risk factors. - Breaking down financial considerations into specific components like monthly mortgage payments, upfront costs, and opportunity cost analysis. - Analyzing rental considerations, including current and future rental rates and the flexibility of renting.
IT 520 Milestone 2 3 - Assessing market trends through historical and projected property value appreciation and rental rate trends. - Evaluating risk factors, including the stability of the local real estate market and the impact of job stability on affordability. 3. Effective Use of Power BI for Data Modeling and Visualization: - Creating relationships between relevant tables for effective data modeling. - Defining calculated columns and measures for key metrics. - Utilizing visualizations (time series charts, bar charts, tables) in Power BI to present key data points. - Implementing "What-If" analysis and sensitivity analysis within Power BI to allow for scenario exploration and assessment of key factors' impact. 4. Thorough Evaluation of the Revised Model: - Conducting a detailed evaluation of the model's performance over both short-term and long-term periods. - Analyzing key metrics, such as the cost comparison between renting and homeownership, renters' perception and preference, 30-year expenditure, and monthly payment comparisons.
