Accurate Data for Successful Forecasting
Identify the purpose of the data
Before standardizing the data, it is important to understand why the data is being collected and how it will be used. This will help to determine the appropriate level of standardization that is needed and the types of standards that should be applied.
Assess the current state of the data
The next step is to assess the current state of the data and identify any problems or inconsistencies that need to be addressed. This may involve conducting a data audit or review to identify issues such as missing or incorrect data, duplicates, or data that is not in the correct format.
Clean and prepare the data
This may involve tasks such as correcting errors, filling in missing data, removing duplicates, and ensuring that the data is in the correct format.
Establish standards
Once the data has been cleaned and prepared, the next step is to establish standards for the data. This may involve developing guidelines for naming conventions, data types, data structures, and other aspects of database design and development.
