Data Analytics for Business: Metrics & Decision Making

Requirements

Many analysts know how to build dashboards and run queries — but struggle to answer the most important question:

What should we do with the data?

This course is designed to help you move beyond reporting and develop real product analytics thinking — from identifying problems to driving decisions and measuring impact.

  • prioritize solutions using impact vs effort frameworks

How This Course Is Different

This is not a tool-based course.

Instead of focusing on SQL, Python, or dashboards, this course teaches you how to think like an analyst.

You will learn a structured approach used in real companies:

Problem → Metrics → Behavior → Root Cause → Action → Impact

We will apply this framework throughout the course using a practical case study (QuickCart), so you can see how analytics works end-to-end.
