Overview

The Survey Team consists of individuals committed to the cause of generating survey questions, ordering them, proofing them, and generally working with our Survey Project Manager (Mirandha Sedai) to get the survey launch-ready. Following the survey, this team will be responsible for data analysis and helping the SPM to make the information ready for presentation to Execs and the public. Since the question has been raised before, English as a first language is NOT required as there is much more to this job than simply reading questions for errors.

The Statisticians are also members of the Survey Team but have a more specific function. While these individuals do help out with all that I listed above, the Statisticians are also responsible for gathering the data from our survey software upon completion of a survey. They will take this data and work their magic to make graphs, pivot tables, and other visual informational wonders. In addition to mining the data, the Statisticians are responsible for analyzing the data with statistics in mind. The rest of the Survey Team will also be analyzing the data.
