"Managing a project can come with challenges if you don't take the right steps to prepare and execute properly. There are certain steps I take to ensure that the preparation is done even before kick-off is underway. The pre-prep of a project is a very important step before the actual kick-off. The main elements of the project pre-prep are having the right team members in place with the appropriate skills, and communicating tasks, deadlines, milestones, and clear objectives. Once that is done, I proceed to the data analytics modeling steps. Here's how I prepare, and the steps I take to ensure a successful project kick-off.

1.Define expectations and results - (Requirements gathering sessions with identification of expected results).
2.Team assignments and responsibilities - (Clear vision and outcome of project, and assessment of team capabilities).
3.Project Management - (Monitor and manage project with clear milestones).
4.Organizational Management - (Establish processes, activities, change requests and deliverables).
5.Data Governance - (Management of data quality, security, performance, team, integrity, and priorities)."
