Data Collection
Far too often, organizations lack formal data collection, or worse, create and implement complicated data collection efforts without understanding whether the data and metrics link to the organization's strategic goals and objectives. This lack of structure often results in collected data and metrics that have little value. To ensure that you focus and structure your data collection efforts accordingly, use data collection plans and data collection techniques to collect relevant process data.
Gain an understanding of the critical elements that are part of an accurate and complete data collection plan. Learn how to collect relevant process data using data collection techniques like automatic data capture, surveys, interviews, check sheets, and checklists. Interactive activities and knowledge checks in this course enable you to apply what you've learned.
