Abstract :
Engineering managers have never had it so good. We live in an age where we no longer have to work on hunches. We now have screeds of data about every aspect of our companies, and because we tend to be numerate and analytical, we should be able to extrapolate meaningful conclusions from this data that help us to bring better products to market, make more money and even improve the quality of our professional lives. It´s sad but true that most of us don´t take full advantage of the information at our fingertips. We strain under the weight of ´data overload´, and run the risk of becoming victims of ´analysis paralysis´.
