Asking Great Questions as a Data Scientist

Asking questions can sometimes seem scary. No one wants to appear "silly." Data Science is a constant collaboration with the business and a series of questions and answers that allow you to deliver the analysis/model/data product that the business has in their head. Questions are required to fully understand what the business wants and not find yourself making assumptions about what others are thinking. Asking the right questions, like those you identified here is what separate Data Scientists that know'why' from folks that only know what (tools and technologies).
