According to the IIBA® Guide to Business Data Analytics, analytics work should be driven by well-defined business problems or opportunities that are aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives1. Having an abundance of data does not necessarily mean that all of it is relevant, reliable, or useful for the analytics purpose. Therefore, the analytics team should focus on using the data to answer a limited number of key questions that are derived from the business context and that can generate actionable insights and outcomes. This approach can help the analytics team prioritize the most important data sources, methods, and tools, as well as avoid wasting time and resources on analysis that is not impactful or meaningful for the organization.
