1 Define the scope and objectives

Before you start any data analysis project, you need to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve, why, and how. This means defining the scope and objectives of the project, as well as the key questions, hypotheses, and assumptions that guide your analysis. You also need to identify the data sources, methods, tools, and deliverables that you will use. Having a well-defined scope and objectives will help you avoid scope creep, align your team and stakeholders, and set realistic expectations.

Indeed!I actually agree with this. First things first, we must define the purpose and see how it aligns with business objectives. We also need to define the metrics that we are going to use to achieve the purpose or to measure the identified goals and objectives. Setting out questions with help us to work towards answering key and pressing project management questions. Project managers will be having questions like how much did we incur this much, and how did we arrive there, what is contributing to our greatest costs etc. So as we embark on a project, it's important to understand that. Having done so, we create proceed to define the metrics and how those are going to be presented on the visuals.

2 Estimate the time and cost

Once you have defined the scope and objectives, you need to estimate how much time and money you will need to complete the project. This involves breaking down the project into manageable tasks, assigning roles and responsibilities, and estimating the duration and effort for each task. You also need to account for potential risks, uncertainties, and dependencies that may affect your project. You can use various techniques, such as historical data, expert judgment, or parametric estimation, to estimate the time and cost of your project. You should also add some contingency or buffer to your estimates to account for unexpected changes or issues.

One thing I have found helpful when estimating the time and cost is to call out for quotations from different contractors depending on the nature of a project. Sometimes requesting Bill of Materials and Quotations will give you a rough Idea into how much it costs from different perspectives. Once the quotations are submitted, you can fund out the averages for materials, labour costs, etc which is almost a rough idea into how much it will costs. Having done so, now add a contingency to the budget to cater for unforeseen changes or unforeseen costs.

3 Create a project plan and schedule

After you have estimated the time and cost, you need to create a project plan and schedule that outlines the activities, milestones, and deliverables of your project. A project plan and schedule will help you communicate your project vision, scope, and objectives to your team and stakeholders, as well as track your progress and performance. You can use various tools, such as Gantt charts, network diagrams, or agile boards, to create and visualize your project plan and schedule. You should also update your project plan and schedule regularly to reflect any changes or deviations from your original estimates.

4 Monitor and control the project

Once you have started executing your project, you need to monitor and control the project to ensure that it is on track and on budget. This means measuring and reporting on the status, quality, and performance of your project, as well as identifying and resolving any issues or risks that may arise. You also need to manage the changes, expectations, and feedback of your team and stakeholders, as well as ensure that they are engaged and informed throughout the project. You can use various tools, such as dashboards, reports, or meetings, to monitor and control your project.

5 Review and evaluate the project

After you have completed your project, you need to review and evaluate the project to assess its outcomes, impacts, and lessons learned. This means comparing the actual results and performance of your project with the planned scope, objectives, and estimates, as well as identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your project. You also need to document and share the findings, insights, and recommendations of your analysis, as well as celebrate and recognize the achievements and contributions of your team and stakeholders. You can use various tools, such as surveys, feedback sessions, or retrospectives, to review and evaluate your project.
