Creating Data Discovery work practice
The data discovery work practice outlines the data discovery phase of the project. The purpose of this work practice is to highlight the major deliverables/products and processes. The data discovery phase analyzes the sources of information in detail, to determine patterns, and also to determine the similarities and differences of the source systems. This is a very interactive and exploratory phase.
Getting ready
Before starting, it is important to have an understanding of your project methodology and determine the key roles that will be involved in the work practice.
How to do it...
Work practices are best created as a visual tool. To do this, start up a diagramming tool such as Microsoft Visio or Microsoft PowerPoint:
1. In the diagramming application, create a new tab or slide called Data Discovery.
2. On the diagram, create swimlanes. In each swimlane, add the key role.
3. Step through this phase of the project logically, and add the key products/deliverables...
