Where does data analysis begin

Where does data analysis begin?  

The collection of data is not the onset of data analysis projects. A data analysis project begins with a purpose, problem, and research questions.

Find one scholarly research paper with an excellent example of:

• Problem statement
• Research questions

The example shall relate to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field. After finding the research, discuss the following:

• What makes this example excellent in the topics that initiate a data analysis project?
• What relates this example to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field?
• Do the research questions meet the criteria defined in the lecture in week one?
• What is the generalizability of this research?

Do not restate what the authors of the research have already stated. Your post shall be in your own words. Reference the research example using APA 7, as well as any other references used in your post. The hanging indent required in research papers is not appropriate on the discussion board.

The initial post should be 350 words.
