1 Define your objectives

Before you start data mining, you need to have a clear and specific purpose for your analysis. What are the questions you want to answer, the problems you want to solve, or the goals you want to achieve? Having a well-defined objective can help you narrow down your data scope, select the appropriate methods and tools, and avoid unnecessary or irrelevant data processing. It can also help you evaluate the results and communicate them effectively to your stakeholders.

In initiating a data mining project, it's pivotal to strike a balance—our scope must be broad enough to explore without constraining ourselves to a singular objective, yet focused to prevent ambiguity in our insights. By delineating clear 'scopes of interest' alongside 'scopes of feasibility', we create a roadmap that guides both stakeholders and data analysts. Setting precise expectations, timelines and costs is key, allowing us to navigate the vast data landscape effectively. It's through this balanced exploration we uncover actionable insights, driving our decision-making process forward and aim for a roadmap with frequent deliverable objectives.

2 Follow the data protection principles

Data protection is a legal and ethical obligation that you need to comply with when you collect, store, process, and share personal data. This includes any information that can identify or relate to a living individual, such as name, email, phone number, location, health, preferences, behavior, etc. The data protection principles are a set of guidelines that can help you ensure that you handle personal data fairly and lawfully. This includes obtaining consent from the data subjects or having a legitimate reason for using their data; collecting only the minimum amount of data necessary for your objective; keeping the data accurate and up to date; storing the data securely and for no longer than needed; processing the data in a way that respects the rights and interests of the data subjects; and sharing the data only with authorized and trustworthy parties.

3 Apply data quality standards

Data quality is essential for data mining, as it affects the validity and reliability of your results and conclusions. Poor data quality can lead to errors, biases, and misinterpretations that can harm your reputation and credibility. To ensure data quality, you need to apply data quality standards throughout your data mining process. This includes defining the criteria and metrics for your objective, performing data quality checks and audits at every stage of data collection, preparation, analysis, and reporting, identifying and resolving data quality issues such as missing values, outliers, duplicates, inconsistencies, etc., and documenting and reporting the data quality status and actions taken.
