  3. Data research.
  4. Data collection mode.

  6. Market research. The activity of gathering information about both or either consumers' needs and preferences and/or sellers' products on the market. Sometimes, the research is considered being the first phase of the market analysis.
    • Environmental scanning. Screening information to detect emerging trends.
    • Benchmarking. The search for the best practices among competitors or noncompetitors that lead to their superior performance.
    • Benchmark. The standard of excellence against which to measure and compare.
  7. Metadata. Data about data; it may include data sources, geolocation, the chronology related to data creation and further movement, data contexts, etc.
  8. Internal reporting.
  9. Knowledge base.

Methods

  1. Data-gathering technique. An established procedure for carrying out gathering of data.
  2. Event-powered survey. The data-gathering technique that is based on a systematic study of behavior of people at arranged events such as pooling, sampling, and/or querying, either virtual or physical, undertaken in order to gather data primarily of the results of their behavior.
  3. Meeting. An occasional or arranged gathering of people for informational, emotional, or physical exchanges; particularly, this gathering can serve as a data-gathering technique.
    • Town hall meeting. An informal public meeting where information can be relayed, issues can be discussed, or employees can be brought together to celebrate accomplishments.

Instruments

  1. Data-gathering tool. An tangible or software implement used to carry out gathering of data.
  2. Search engine. A software system that is designed to search for data on corporate networks or, as a web search engine, on World Wide Web.
  3. Prototype. A preliminary conceptual model of a deliverable to be developed; this model is used as a reference, publicity artifact, or data-gathering tool.
  4. Surveys, content management software, exams and quizzes, online forms and form filing and reporting systems.

Practices

  • Assumption. The factor that, for planning purposes, is considered to be true, real, or certain. Assumptions affect all aspects of project planning, and are part of the progressive elaboration of the project. Project teams frequently identify, document, and validate assumptions as part of their planning process. Assumptions generally involve a degree of risk.
  • Information gathering. The stage of creative behavior when possible solutions to a problem incubate in an individual's mind.
