Data Analysis Techniques

When you understand data analysis techniques, you take a big step towards making product and process improvements. How do you know when you implement a change, that the change was effective?

The Problem

Have you ever encountered a manager who said “I just made a change to the way we do things here. Now things are better.”? When you review the final outcome, you find things are not improved. In fact the improvements may be counter productive. Why did the manager make these statements?
  1. The manager’s ego may prevent him / her from realizing the change was not effective.
  2. There may not be any measurements in place to monitor the change.
  3. The measurement may be on the wrong item. In this case, your point of view is different then your manager’s point of view.
  4. The data is collected correctly but your manager is not reviewing the data. The data is not being analyzed.
  5. The manager does not understand the definition of improvement. When you say improvement what does that mean? How does data analysis link to improvement?
