American mathematician, John Tukey famously said, “The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.” A ‘Data Scientist’ strives to discover and construct meaning from random sets of data.
To start a new project as a data scientist the first step is to create a ‘Project Lifecycle’. It broadly reflects the process that needs to be followed in order to reach the desired results. An understanding of a Project Lifecycle is demonstrated below;

At this stage, the business owner/administration gives out a deep understanding of the business and insights on what they expect to achieve for their organization. After navigating this stage, the data scientist has a pool of ambiguous numbers and information that requires to be made sense of.
