Answer to Question 1

A written data analysis plan (document) is commonly developed that outlines specific tasks and expected time requirements. Recording the plan has several benefits:
. it forces the analyst to explicitly consider constraints;
. it helps the analyst to remain on task, avoiding any unnecessary efforts that consume valuable time and resources;
. it provides a standard against which to monitor the progress of the data analysis; and
. it facilitates a detailed description of the analysis, which is a necessary component for communicating results at the completion of the engagement.
