Project Requirements and Deliverables

Content coming soon...

Suggested Topics

• Data pipeline requirements: ingestion from at least one external source, transformation with dbt, modeled output
• Infrastructure requirements: deployed on Azure with automated daily batch processing
• Code quality: version control with git, clear project structure, environment configuration
• Documentation requirements: README with setup instructions, architecture diagram, data dictionary
• Testing: at least basic data quality tests (dbt tests or Python assertions)
• Monitoring: pipeline should surface errors (alerts, logs, or a status dashboard)
• Deliverables checklist: working pipeline, deployed infrastructure, documentation, presentation slides
• Grading criteria: functionality, code quality, documentation, presentation, and teamwork
• Optional extensions: students may use Terraform (Week 14) for Azure provisioning, Airbyte (Week 14) for data ingestion, or Databricks (Week 13) for transformations. These are not required but demonstrate breadth.
• Student-facing assessment rubric with concrete criteria and weighting
• Rubric categories: pipeline completeness, data quality tests, Azure deployment, documentation, presentation, collaboration
• Pass/fail thresholds for each category
