1. Collection of Data from various sources as required
Analysts need to select any datasets where a fixed number of customers or candidates go through different processes to meet the end goal. For example- If we take a website data, the website owner would be keen to know at which step the users are defaulting. This will help the owner understand the problem and find solutions.
