After completing the $($Excel eTextbook$)$ practice Module $4$: EX $4-8$c Extend Your Knowledge $($Retirement Planning$)$

activity in this module, create a 'Deck' story around the information you see. Be sure to incorporate:

A cover page $($slide$)$

Executive Summary $-$ ensure you incorporate #$3$ and #$5$ in $($no need to 'keep us guessing to the end' in a deck$).$

Objective $($Question or Hypothesis$)$

Data Support $($including graphs, charts, and other formatted visuals$)-$ you probably need a few slides here

Recommendation $($ties in with Objective, or question to be answered$)$

Be sure to go beyond 'exploring the data and finding patterns $($a marketing research activity$).$ Ask the question $"$SO WHAT?" over and over $($data mining$/$data analysis activity$)$ as you construct your deck. Use a theme $($download PowerPoint template$)$ that relates. Use real screenshots from the database, but, remember your audience is probably non$-$technical. Refrain from 'teaching us how to do something' as your 'audience' in this case is a fictional story. Feel free to make assumptions as needed, but, ensure your selected data supports the story you tell.
