Conduct Analysis Strategy Meeting
This meeting initiates the analysis/synthesis part of the DORIS process The purpose of the meeting is to define the timeline, task/role delegation, and next steps for the analysis/synthesis process.
- The Ops Manager is responsible for scheduling the meeting and invites the Project Lead and any other members of the ops team who will be involved in the analysis.
- The meeting can be scheduled as soon as data collection has ended or is about to end.
Meeting Process
- The Ops Manager opens the Project Charter for the project and navigates to the Analysis/Synthesis section asking questions about the A/S process. Ops team members answer the questions, discussing the best methods considering any relevant information.
- The Ops Manager transcribes the chosen methods, established timeline, and data/role delegation into the Project Charter document.
- At the end of the meeting, all team members are clear on their next steps and are aware of the timeline (everyone has the synthesis meeting on their calendars)

Prepare interview data
For Maxqda analysis:
DownloadOpeninterviewCLEANED datafromsetQualtrics(ifandthereSaveisAs,notaddingone,"RAWDATA"you will have to go to qualtrics, export the data, then save as with a .xlsx)- Delete all columns up to the
file"fulfilling"name.question.Save - Add two columns to the far left, titling the first, "Document Group," and the second, "Document Name."
- The document group column will be the same for the whole set. (Ex. Project-typeofdata, ITCC-Interview) Type in
filethepath:firstDORIScellBox>andProjects>copyProjectName>forChallengeallDefining>cellsAnalysis>inQualitativethatAnalysiscolumn. OpenThe document name will be a unique code for each row. Label thedatasetfirstincell:aProject-XXblank(ITCC-01),spreadsheetthen drag down to apply to the rest of the column.- For maxqda, the headers will become the code that organizes questions, make sure that those codes are representative of the data. For example, some headers may read, "Space_Dislike_1" where the next row down tells us that it is about individual workstations, so you would want to change, "Space_Dislike_1" to "Dislike_Individual Workstation."
- Ensure that all headers are updated and
