Repository for storing the business cases (i.e., projects) for the NOVA IMS master course Business Cases
Whenever a new business case is made available, it is going to be provided both in the course's moodle page as well as a Markdown file in its corresponding folder, which will also contain the necessary data for you to develop the project.
A template for structuring the development of a business case is provided
in BC0_template/. Of course, this is simply a suggestion on a way to
structure the development of your business cases, you are free to structure
them however you like.

├── analysis <---- Your visualizations, tables, diagrams, etc. should be

│ want to include the pdf version of those files (allows the
│ preview of those documents directly in GitHub).

│ your data in different directories:
│ - raw (original, immutable data)
