The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

The support team lacks capacity to handle growing ticket volumes from enterprise clients, risking service level agreements.

This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst or data scientist does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, incomplete, real-world data.

When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

Apply forecasting methods to predict service demand
Use capacity planning models to determine resource requirements
Evaluate trade-offs between cost and service level

Canonical roles

Operations Analyst
Why did orders ship late last week? Why is one warehouse twice as efficient as another? Operations analysts answer questions like these by getting close to the data, the people doing the work, and the gap between how a process is documented and how it actually runs. The role is part SQL, part anthropology — querying transactional systems, then walking the floor or hopping on a call to understand what the data is missing. Students grow into it by building fluency in data tools alongside genuine curiosity about how organizations work. The strongest analysts deliver findings that lead to a fixed process, not just a slide, and write runbooks the next person can actually use.
