In #datascience, you must understand context. There are times at work where looking at the data alone didn't help me from solving the problem.

It doesn't matter if your domain is in marketing, healthcare, product, etc... You need to understand the context first before diving into the data. Without background information about how the data was generated, it becomes really difficult to make accurate assumptions on what your data will show.

Taking the time to understand the context will not only benefit you in your analysis, but you may even help your colleagues tackle the problem better.

When you are informed about the data and problem, you increase your value because now you're in a position to communicate and identify other potential problems.

So do this:
On your next project, take the time to not just do EDA, but also document your understanding of the context behind the data.

This good practice will definitely help you in your career and is a valuable skill you can bring to any team.
Context first, data second.
