Looking for real world data to practice your data analysis skills?

Need a new project to showcase on your BI portfolio?

We have just what you need, including another chance to win a free all-access membership to Maven Analytics!

We’ve just added a brand new dataset to the Data Playground, containing customer satisfaction scores from airline passengers.

This dataset is the perfect opportunity to put your strategic thinking and communication skills to the test, and present the results of your analysis with Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python or other BI tools!

To go along with this release, we’re launching the Maven Airlines Challenge and giving away a free all-access membership to the winner.

We’ll share more about the challenge details below, but first let’s talk about the data…

About the dataset

• We're looking at airline satisfaction scores for 129,880 passengers

• Each record represents one passenger

• Records contain details about passenger demographics, flight distance and delays, travel class and purpose, and ratings for factors like cleanliness, comfort, and service, as well as overall satisfaction with the airline

How to play the Maven Airlines Challenge

For this challenge, you'll be assuming the role of Senior Data Analyst for Maven Airlines, a US-based airline headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The latest passenger survey results just came in and it looks like the satisfaction rate dipped under 50% for the first time ever. The leadership team needs to take action fast, so they've brought you in to analyze the data and find the key areas to focus on for getting back on track.

Your task is to recommend a data-driven strategy for increasing Maven Airlines' satisfaction rate, and present it in the form of a single page report or dashboard.

Here’s how to submit your entry:

1. Share a LinkedIn post mentioning @Maven Analytics and the hashtag #mavenairlineschallenge, with your single-page visual based on the challenge objective above

2. Complete the official challenge submission form to make sure you are entered for a chance to win

Make sure to follow Maven Analytics on LinkedIn for updates on the challenge and invite your connections to play along!

How to win

Finalists will be chosen by the Maven team based on insights, creativity, design, visualizations, and overall storytelling ability. The winner will be selected from the finalist pool by the Maven team, via live voting.
