The amount of data available to software teams and the tools available to utilize it can easily become mind-numbing if you don’t know how to ask the right questions.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be a data guru or a technical specialist to understand this fundamental truth: your data is only as valuable as the questions you ask.

This is good news for project teams and business analysis professionals because it means you can quickly and realistically begin harnessing insights offered by data that’s readily available, as long as you understand how to frame the questions that yield those insights.

In this one-hour web seminar, data guru and veteran enterprise consultant Darrel Raynor will take your questions on how you can immediately begin framing the useful questions that will yield useful insights for your organization, using data analysis resources you probably already have in place.

Join Darrel for this open Q&A in which we take as many of your questions as possible.

Presenter: Darrel Raynor (LinkedIn profile) Founder and Managing Director of, Data Analysis & Results  and has decades of experience consulting with Fortune companies on uncovering useful business insights and turning around troubled projects using data-driven resources.
