The PRIME Model

For those who are new to this site, this page links to my multi-article discussion of the PRIME model. I consider this to be one of the key points of this site's content and want to make it as easy as possible for first-time users to access it. PRIME is an acronym that describes my conception of the way people interact with data:

Produce - Create new data through insight
Review - Passive consumption of static data
Investigate - Sift through the data to gain understanding
Monitor - Active consumption of changing data
Extrapolate - Project data into the future

The series of articles then presents an integrated view of the model and concludes with discussions of how the model fits in the context of business functions and applications.

To begin, check out this Introduction. At the end of each article you'll find a link to the next article in the series. If you get lost, just click the link to this page to come back here.

Happy reading!
