Steps to get started
1
Task Discussion
We study the current state of affairs. We clarify with the client what data and resources are available.
2
Discussion of the concrete steps of the work
We discuss possible options for solving the client's problem, choose tools.
3
Formulating a proposal
After discussing the steps, I formulate a concrete plan with future results and timelines.
4
Getting Started
I work incrementally, that is, the results are visible after each iteration, usuallyevery week.
