Project Overview

MIS202 Final Project: Northwind Product Category and Sales Review

Northwind management wants to know which product category deserves more management attention. You will use Access, CSV exports, Excel, Google Colab Python, Word, PowerPoint, PDF files, ZIP packaging, and your Digital Artifact Notebook to support a recommendation.

Central business question: Which Northwind product category should receive more management attention, and why?

This project replaces the traditional final exam. It is designed to show that you can connect multiple business technology tools into one verified workflow.
