Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role type, such as data science, business intelligence or data engineering, to the decision you face, and check whether their relevant role is current or past. Ask them for one specific decision their data supported and what happened when the data fell short.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01When did you realize the data you were tracking didn't actually predict the outcome you cared about?
- 02Walk me through a decision where you had to act with incomplete data. What would have changed if you'd waited for more?
- 03Which data sources did you stop using, and why?
