What are the project goals and how can a statistician help achieve them?
Before hiring a statistician, understand the purpose of your project. Are you trying to analyze customer data or predict future trends? This helps the statistician know exactly what kind of analysis is needed. Clear goals make sure everyone knows what success looks like.
What specific data will be used for the statistical analysis?
Decide what data you need and ensure it's ready for analysis. Check if the data is clean and complete. Good data is like a good story; if it's clear, the statistician can do a better job telling it.
What is the timeline for the project?
Create a timeline that shows when each part of the project needs to be done. This helps the statistician plan their work. A timeline is like a map; it guides everyone to the project's finish line.
What deliverables do you expect from the statistician?
List what you want from the statistician, like reports or data visualizations. These deliverables show what the statistician's work will look like. It's like ordering a meal and knowing what will be on your plate.
How will you communicate with the statistician during the project?
Choose how you will talk with the statistician, like through emails or video calls. Regular check-ins help everyone stay on the same page. Good communication is key to avoiding misunderstandings.
What tools or software should the statistician use for the project?
Decide if there are specific tools or software you need the statistician to use. Some projects require certain programs to keep everything compatible. Providing this info is like giving the right key to open a lock.
Do you need any additional support or expertise on the project?
Think about if extra help or another expert might be needed. Sometimes a statistician needs a team, like in sports. Knowing this early ensures you have all the skills necessary to win the game.
How will the project's success be measured?
Define what success looks like and how you'll measure it. Maybe you'll use numbers or graphs to see if goals are met. Success criteria are like a scorecard; they show if the project is doing well.
What is the project's budget and are there any constraints?
Set a budget and any limits you have in mind. This helps the statistician know how much they can do with the resources available. It's like planning a shopping trip and knowing how much you can spend.
Who will be the point of contact on both sides?
Decide who will talk to who during the project. This makes sure the right messages go to the right people. It's like having a friend who passes notes in class; they keep everyone updated.
