About the Course

The Executive Data Science Capstone, the specialization’s culminating project, is an opportunity for people who have completed all four EDS courses to apply what they've learned to a real-world scenario developed in collaboration with Zillow, a data-driven online real estate and rental marketplace, and DataCamp, a web-based platform for data science programming. Your task will be to lead a virtual data science team and make key decisions along the way to demonstrate that you have what it takes to shepherd a complex analysis project from start to finish. For the final project, you will prepare and submit a presentation, which will be evaluated and graded by your fellow capstone participants. Course cover image by Luckey_sun.

Wow! This is the most fun and creative Capstone I have ever done! I only wish it was longer 😊. I really appreciate the work/effort put into this and the entire Specialization. Awesome job guys!! 🎉

The Executive Data Science Capstone was so much fun, while I was doing it I was really feeling like I am a data manager and managing the data science team in real life. So interesting it was.

Great course - even for those with only a small amount of data analysis, this is very useful in explaining the bigger picturing of managing data

Fun and real life problems, is easy but would be cool to make it longer and a situation in which real several problems are found.

It was great to see how does it work in real life. I wish there was more example and more challenging scenarios. I did enjoy it.

Some of the sections were a bit too much jargon based which were difficult to understand but overall it was a good experience.

Good to get a formal overview of all the phases and ingredients of data science projects, without getting lost in the details.

Like the way the capstone project was design, also how the team is introduced and how the situations are moving forward.

There were a couple of bugs, but it was a great way to close a very well-designed course.

It felt almost like a game!

Thanks for coming up with a near real-life problem. I understand a lot of effort goes in creating these problems.

Capstone project was very interesting and engaging in its interactivity. It is simple but not trivial one.

Not very informative and by no means deserving to be called a "capstone project" - but fun! :)

Really realistic and fun! But it´s almost impossible to grad less than 100 after two attempts.
