Teaching and Discussion Ideas

This book works well in classrooms, workshops, journal club style discussions, and mentoring conversations.

Good discussion questions

  • Which habit feels most under-taught in formal training?
  • Which habit is hardest to practice under deadline pressure?
  • Where have you seen data quality or documentation problems change the direction of a project?
  • How should analysts balance technical skill with judgment, communication, and ethics?

Course or workshop uses

You could assign one chapter per session and ask learners to do one of the following:

  • bring a real example from their own work
  • adapt one toolkit page to a current project
  • identify one risk the habit helps prevent
  • describe how the chapter changes what they would do next
