Creating a scope for a data problem - Deepstash

Creating a scope for a data problem

We can find structure when we create the scope for a data problem. A scope is the outline of a story of why we are focusing on this problem.

The scope of a project consists of four parts, which is expressed as the mnemonic CoNVO.

  • Context
  • Needs
  • Vision
  • Outcome

When a problem is well-scoped, we will be able to talk about the project easily. The story will have context, conflict (the need), a resolution (the vision) and a happy ending (the outcome.) Once we have done the thinking using the CoNVO structure, we can go and collect the data.
