Statistics and Analytics

The Entity shall detail each shortlisted use case in charters. The use case charters shall be compiled in use cases portfolio and include, at a minimum:

• Use case description and development rationale
• Type of Analytics leveraged (i.e.: discovery, descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive)
• The expected benefits and business value aimed to be derived (ROI), as well as the estimated costs of implementation through the development of a business case
• Stakeholders involved in the implementation of the use case, the owner that would lead the use case, and the target consumers that would benefit from the insights generated by the use case
• List of business requirements to implement the use case
• List of functional requirements to implement the use case
• Data sources that would feed the use case with the required data fields
• Dependencies that need to be overcome to initiate development of the data product (e.g.: technologies, resources, and capabilities required to implement the use cases)
• Indication if ethical, security and privacy components exist may exist and how they shall be addressed
• The Entity Shall document in details each shortlisted statistics indicator at minimum with:
  • Indicator Type
  • Description
  • Data elements
  • Data Source(s)
  • Calculation formula
  • Indicator owner

The Entity shall develop an implementation plan documenting the required activities to pilot the use cases and indicators, followed by production and then monitoring results. The implementation plan shall address, at a minimum:

• High-Level Design – Conceptual design of the solution (e.g.: wireframes)
• Staging and Production Environment Preparations – solution hosting environments during and after development
• Development – Functional and non-functional requirements to be developed to meet the high-level design
• Testing – Scope and types of testing to be conducted
• Deployment and Schedule – Timeline for establishing a pilot and/ or delivery of the complete use case
• Required Resources – Key personnel within the Entity who have the needed skills, expertise and knowledge to successfully implement the use case
• Acceptance Criteria – Key criteria for measuring the successful implementation of the analytics use case, including legal, security, ethical and privacy criteria

The Entity shall identify data sources and develop a data sourcing plan for each Indicator / use case identified based on the use case implementation plan. Data Sources shall include, but are not limited to:

• Internal data to the Entity
• Data from surveys and census
• Data from other Entities
• Data from 3rd party suppliers
• Open Data from the National Open Data platform
• Big Data

• The Entity shall develop standardized templates for reports and dashboards to ensure consistency and accuracy in data presentation across the Entity. These templates shall adhere to the Entity's branding guidelines, including the color scheme, typography, and logo placement, to maintain a cohesive visual identity throughout all internal and external communications

The Entity shall adhere to GSBPM model to ensure following best practices for the statistical implementation processes during the Statistics Indicators and Analytics Use Case Implementation Plan activation defined in SA.1.1.3. The Entity shall, at a minimum:

• Demonstrate progress by adhering to the predefined milestones and timelines specified in the roadmap
• Document deviations from the planned milestones and timelines, if any, and submit to the Data Committee for approval

• The Entity shall develop and maintain a use case user guides/ manuals that detail the functionalities and operations of the use cases. Below is a non-exhaustive, indicative guideline of the contents that can be included in a user guide:
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to access and navigate the analytics tools or platform
  • Detailed guidance on how to set up and run specific analyses, including screenshots and command descriptions
  • Explanation of various parameters that can be controlled by the user and their impacts on the analysis
  • Examples of how to interpret common outputs or results within the context of the use case
  • Support contact information (i.e.: how to get in touch with technical support or find further help)
  • Definitions of technical terms and jargon used throughout the guide

The Entity shall implement maintenance and reporting activities to ensure that the indicators and use cases portfolio are performing as expected. The frequency of the process shall be aligned with the operations team capacity. These activities shall include, at a minimum:

• Measuring and monitoring the value realization metrics for each Indicator / use case against projected values in the charters (refer to SA.1.1.2.SS3)
• Operational monitoring of the indicators / use cases such as monitoring of the production pipeline (e.g.: through dashboards)
• Implementing tools to gather feedback from feedback from end-users and monitoring adoption for the deployed indicator / use cases (e.g.: surveys)
• Creating change request documents to address change requirements based on the feedback received from end-users
