Recovery & Repair
You plan. You test. And still, sometimes projects hit a snag.
Sometimes it wasn't even a wrong step, simply a change of plans which now requires re-thinking your strategies.
Typical recovery projects include:
- Backing you up when the project scope grows outside your usual arena
- Working around missing questions
- Restructuring answers for easier analysis
- Leisurely or emergency Web survey repairs and relocations
- Melding multiple surveys into a cohesive project
- Reconstructing projects where you have bits and pieces such as raw data and report printouts, but not the main file
- Correcting flawed reports
- Untangling projects whose creators are no longer available
During a recovery I have a tight focus:
- Maximizing data integrity and confidence
- Minimizing respondent confusion and disruption
- Maintaining project timelines
