Week 1: Data Management and SQL Database Setup
Tasks:
Database Design: Create a schema for managing customer data, including tables for
customer information, transactions, and interactions.
SQL Database Implementation: Populate the database in Microsoft SQL Server.
SQL Queries: Develop queries to manage and analyze data (e.g., data extraction,
updates).
Tools:
Microsoft SQL Server
SQL Management Studio
Deliverables:
A fully functional and populated SQL database.
SQL queries to extract and analyze customer data.
Week 2: Data Warehousing and Python Programming
Tasks:
Data Warehouse Implementation: Set up a SQL Data Warehouse to handle large data
sets.
Data Integration: Import data from multiple sources into the data warehouse.
Python Programming: Write Python scripts (with Pandas, SQLAlchemy) to interact with
the database and prepare data for analysis.
Tools:
Microsoft SQL Data Warehouse
Python (Pandas, SQLAlchemy)
Deliverables:
A functioning data warehouse.
Python scripts for data extraction and transformation.
Week 3: Data Science and Azure Integration
Tasks:
Data Science with Python: Analyze customer data and develop predictive models,
e.g., customer churn prediction, using Scikit-learn.
Azure Data Fundamentals: Set up Azure Data Studio for data management and deploy
models.
Model Development: Train and evaluate machine learning models using Azure Machine
Learning.
Tools:
Python (Scikit-learn, Matplotlib)
Azure Data Studio
Azure Machine Learning
Deliverables:
A detailed analysis report with insights.
Predictive models for customer churn or other behaviors.
Week 4: MLOps, Deployment, and Final Presentation
Tasks:
MLOps Implementation: Track experiments with MLflow and manage models effectively.
Model Deployment: Deploy models via Azure services or build a web app (Flask or
Streamlit) for real-time predictions.
Final Report & Presentation: Summarize the project in a report and prepare a
presentation of the results.
Tools:
MLflow
Azure Services (for deployment)
Web Frameworks (Flask, Streamlit)
Deliverables:
Deployed machine learning model or a web application for predictions.
Final report and presentation detailing the project’s results and insights.
Key Outcomes:
An end-to-end solution for managing, analyzing, and predicting customer behaviors.
Deployment of predictive models that help inform business decisions.
Utilization of cloud infrastructure to scale and manage data efficiently.
This structure ensures a step-by-step approach, with clear deliverables at each
stage of the project, enabling seamless collaboration and tracking of progress.
