42. Some data sprint tips from last year’s project coordinators • Spend time with your data. • Test hypotheses and tools on small datasets ﬁrst. • Don't start with theory but start with the question, the claims (in the literature or press) and the data; let the data inform theory. • Let your expectations be challenged and shaped by the data. • Split big groups into subgroups. • Be persistent - there are always ups and downs. • Take your coffee breaks :-)
