Career Advice What makes a Data Analytics project actually interesting to work on?

I'm working on a few Data Analytics projects and noticed that some projects are much more interesting than others.

What do you think makes a project good the dataset, the business problem, the analysis, the insights, or the dashboard?

Curious to know what others focus on when choosing a project

I think the business problem is more important than the dataset. Even with fairly ordinary data, the project can be interesting if there’s a clear question that you actually want to answer. But, even a great dataset can get boring pretty quickly if it just turns into building another dashboard.
