A data discovery ticket turns early data investigation into a concrete project work item. It reduces delivery uncertainty by revealing what data exists, what it contains, and what using it will require. section 2.4
Create the ticket around a representative data sample and document:
- Statistical properties, such as the data’s measurable characteristics. section 2.4
- Nonfunctional properties, including scale, speed, and historical coverage. section 2.4
- System properties, including location, infrastructure, and operational purpose. section 2.4
Use open-ended questions to find overlooked sources, validate known datasets, identify deficiencies, and estimate cleaning, supplementation, or limited-data work. A full dataset may be impractical initially, so begin with a sample. section 2.4
