Frameworks provide a step-by-step blueprint for analytics projects.

They ensure projects are focused on business value, not just technical analysis.

CRISP-DM is a popular six-phase model: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Modeling, Evaluation, and Deployment.

OSEMN (Obtain, Scrub, Explore, Model, iNterpret) is another common workflow.

The most critical steps are often understanding the business problem first and preparing high-quality data.

The ultimate goal is deployment, where insights are used to drive action.
