What information should we give to the data analyst initially?

Start by sharing all relevant data. Include any data sources you have, like spreadsheets or databases. Be clear about how often this data is updated. This helps the analyst know what they have to work with.

How can we agree on what the data analyst should deliver?

Talk about what you want the final product to look like. Do you want a report, a dashboard, or just insights? Be specific, so the analyst knows what to focus on.
