Project walkthroughs/explanations are standard not just in analytics, but in general for job seekers. Individuals can either over-explain, under-explain, get lost in detail-laden tangents, or even not capitalize on openings to showcase the work.

Personally I structure my projects as "What does this report/project tell us, and why is it important?" but sometimes just leaving it there, not getting into too much technical detail. My structure is generally:

Contextualize why/how the project came about, what it was intended to do

Explain the logistics but ~ Get confused on how much detail to go into~ very awkward at times (over/under explaining)

Explain project impact, if any, on the original problem

Do you think the onus should be on the interviewee to explain the project technicalities, or is it up to the hiring manager to probe?

What has really stuck out for you?

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
