1. Data Volume
    Description: The amount of data being processed.
    Impact: Larger volumes of data require more processing time and resources.
2. Data Complexity
    Description: The complexity of the data structure (e.g., multiple tables, nested data).
    Impact: More complex data requires more sophisticated analysis techniques and tools, increasing workload.
3. Frequency of Data Updates
    Description: How often data is updated or refreshed.
    Impact: Frequent updates can increase the workload as data needs to be continuously processed and analyzed.
4. Analysis Type
    Description: The type of analysis being performed (e.g., descriptive, predictive, prescriptive).    
    Impact: Different types of analysis require varying levels of effort and computational resources.
5. Number of Projects
    Description: The number of concurrent projects being handled.
    Impact: More projects can lead to a higher cumulative workload and the need for effective prioritization and resource allocation.
6. Project Deadlines
    Description: The urgency and deadlines of projects.
    Impact: Tight deadlines can increase pressure and require more intensive work periods.
7. Stakeholder Requirements
    Description: The specific needs and demands of stakeholders (e.g., custom reports, specific metrics).
    Impact: Custom requests and detailed requirements can add to the workload.
8. Tool and Technology Usage
    Description: The tools and technologies used for data analysis (e.g., SQL, Python, R).
    Impact: The efficiency and capabilities of the tools can significantly affect workload.
9. Data Quality
    Description: The quality and cleanliness of the data.
    Impact: Poor data quality can increase the workload due to the need for extensive data cleaning and preprocessing.
10. Team Skills and Expertise
    Description: The skills and experience of the data analysis team.
    Impact: A more skilled team can handle complex tasks more efficiently, affecting overall workload.
11. Regulatory and Compliance Requirements
    Description: Adherence to industry regulations and standards.
    Impact: Compliance can add to the workload due to the need for specific reporting and data handling procedures.
12. Customer Demand

    Impact: Higher customer demand can increase the workload as more requests for analysis are made.
13. Internal Initiatives
    Description: Company-driven projects and initiatives (e.g., strategic projects, internal audits).
    Impact: These initiatives can add to the workload and require additional resources.
14. Seasonal Variations
    Description: Fluctuations in workload due to seasonal factors (e.g., end-of-quarter reporting, holiday season).
    Impact: Seasonal variations can lead to predictable workload peaks and troughs.
15. Collaboration and Communication
    Description: The level of collaboration and communication required with other departments.
    Impact: Extensive collaboration can add to the workload due to the need for meetings, discussions, and  coordination.
16. Innovation and R&D
