Claim:
1. A method comprising: obtaining a first work package defining an initial data analytic plan associated with a given data problem, the first work package being generated in accordance with an automated data analytics lifecycle and being implemented in a provisioned system; obtaining a second work package defining a revised data analytic plan associated with the given data problem, the second work package being generated in accordance with the automated data analytics lifecycle; wherein the first work package and the second work package are each obtained as a result of an execution of one or more phases of the automated data analytics lifecycle, the one or more phases comprising a discovery phase to develop the initial data analytic plan and the revised data analytic plan, and an operationalizing phase to generate the provisioned system by provisioning one or more computing resources; determining a set of differences between the first work package and the second work package; computing cost and time parameters associated with modifying the provisioned system to implement the set of differences between the first work package and the second work package; presenting the set of differences and the computed cost and time parameters; and causing the provisioned system to be automatically re-configured during the operationalizing phase of the data analytics lifecycle in accordance with at least a portion of the set of differences and based on the computed cost and time parameters; wherein the above steps are performed on one or more processing elements associated with a computing system.
