+- Created a Trello backlog for the continued development of Data Analytics
+
+## What we found out
+
+The Data Analytics feature as it currently exists in OnTrack provides a limited set of
+visualisations given the data available. The current visualisations are: Target Grade Pie Chart,
+Task Status Pie Chart & Task Completion Box Plot. For the future development of Data Analytics,
+although integrated visualisations will continue to play a key role in providing a quick overview of
+the data, the ability to export the data to a third party tool such as Tableau or PowerBI will be a
+key feature. This will allow for more complex visualisations to be created and for the data to be
+analysed in more depth. The current visualisations will need to be migrated to the latest version of
+Angular and maintained as they provide a quick overview of the data. One particular area where the
+current visualisations are lacking is the ability to track interaction time such as tutor time to
+provide task feedback, this is a key visualisation which could be added to the existing
+visualisations. In parallel to extending the current visualisations, the requirements of the export
+feature will be investigated including a questionnaire to understand the needs of Unit chairs and
+tutors, before designing UML diagrams and implementing the feature.
