The Data Challenge: Why data collection is a challenge and why we don't always have the data we need.
The Data Spree Approach: A common approach to data collection that has its pros and cons.
The Customer Journey Approach: A more comprehensive and focused approach to collecting key data that emphasizes the creation of better data collection habits.
Data Stewardship and Roles: The importance of empowering others to help with data management and ensuring that data is properly managed.
We have continued to improve the product over the past month and have made some significant updates.
