Your data team delivered last quarter. Leadership cannot name a single thing that changed because of it. That is not a people problem. That is a process problem. And it starts before the first line of code gets written. Before the build: — Does anyone know what decision this is supposed to support? After delivery: — Did the person receiving it understand what they were looking at? Three months later: — Has anything in the business actually changed because of this? Most teams skip all three. Then wonder why leadership stops paying attention. These 100 questions cover every stage of a data project. From the first request to the honest conversation about whether it delivered anything real. Some take 10 seconds to answer. The ones that make the room go quiet are the ones worth asking before your next project starts. Save this for your next project kickoff.
