Quote:I figure all that analytical analyzing works like this:

 

If the team wins, then there is an advantage to using it because it seems to work.

 

If they lose, It doesn't appear to be working, at least not yet. Maybe it will be able to analyze enough data to be used successfully sometime in the future, but we just aren't there yet.

 

Any methodology is only as good as the feedback mechanism.  That's what ensures what you're using as guidance has a meaningful, positive impact.

 

Analytics alone are not the answer.  It's only a single tool in a much larger toolbox.

 

It seems we've got the data, but just haven't figured out exactly how to put it to best use.  That, of course, is the most important part of analytics of all (aside from ensuring data integrity itself.)
