Delivery Process: ASUM-DM
An iterative IBM SPSS Process to implement a Data Mining/Predictive Analytics project based on an extended and refined CRISP-DM methodology (click the "Description" tab below for more details) .

IBM Analytics methodology "Analytics Solutions Unified Method (ASUM)" has five phases: Analyze, Design, Configure & Build, Deploy, and Operate & Optimize. However, the three phases of ASUM of Anlyze, Design, and Configure & Build have been combined here due to the iterative nature of data mining/predictive analytics projects.

The method Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) already incorporates adequate project management elements but an additional optional Project Management Process has been added here for supplemental use when needed.

Description

CRISP-DM was conceived in 1996 and was first published in 1999. It was reported as the leading methodology used by Data Miners in polls conducted in 2002, 2004, and 2007. There was a plan between 2006 and 2008 to update CRISP-DM but that update did not take place and today the original CRISP-DM.org website is no longer active. 

ASUM-DM is an extended and refined CRISP-DM for Data Mining/Predictive Analytics projects. CRISP-DM analytics’ activities/tasks and data mining cycle (graph below) have been retained and accepted  entirely but beefed up in the "Deployment" phase where CRISP-DM is at one of its weak points. Additionally Infrastructure/Operations and Project Management activities/tasks have been added and the method has been augmented by some rich and useful templates and guidelines. (See Project Lifecycle/Sitemap opposite for ASUM-DM activities)
