Chapter 1-3
Chapter 1.What are the 6 steps in the IMPACT Cycle (data analytics process) –
1. Identify the question: asking the right question
2.Master the data: knowing the necessary data to answer the Q
- Perform test plan: analyzing the data to find relationship btw in/dependent variables
4. Address and refine results: testing hypotheses, asking further and better Qs
5.Communicate insights: using static reports, digital dashboards, and data visualizations.
6.Track Outcomes: Digital dashboards and data visualizations are increasingly helpful.
