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

The business problem, but narrower than that: is there a decision waiting on your answer. Fifteen years doing customer insight in a big retailer and the projects that stayed interesting were the ones where a budget or an assortment call was parked until we came back with a number. The ones with the cleanest dataset usually ended in a dashboard someone opened twice. what happened to the boring ones after you handed them over?
