This week we mainly worked on our application architecture and diagram. We originally included Excel as part of the architecture because some of the data sets we received from our client are in the xlsx file format. We thought Excel contains snippets of the datasets that are useful to us. However, after discussing with our mentor, Mike, we quickly realized that Excel is not a necessary tool in our application; especially since we plan to use python to normalize and create the final dataset used for the dashboard.
Next week, we plan to develop the Python script and Tableau dashboard for the walking skeleton project. We plan to build on from our clickable prototype and render the dashboard into the format that our client desires.
