# 20241217 - Long-term Data topics with Rich
|
||
|
||
We sit to discuss on 2024-12-17.
|
||
|
||
# Recap on what the Data team does
|
||
|
||
What we should do:
|
||
|
||
- Supervise data across the org: catalogue all the data and data products we have
|
||
- Build and own company wide Data infrastructure
|
||
- Build and own stable, company wide reports, dashboards, etc.
|
||
- Provide brain power for complex analysis
|
||
- Build Data Literacy across the company
|
||
|
||
What we shouldn’t do:
|
||
|
||
- Own absolutely every little report that exists in Superhog (and become a bottleneck in doing so)
|
||
- Act as a poorly designed patch/release-valve on other product shortcomings
|
||
- Miraculously overcome lack of data and poor-quality data
|
||
|
||
# Recap on our capabilities

# Long-term topics
|
||
|
||
Topics:
|
||
|
||
- Grow team to sufficient size to increase bus factor
|
||
- Implant analyst roles within business functions
|
||
- Long-term capabilities that we lack:
|
||
- Enable application runtimes to access DWH data
|
||
- Embedding data products within customer-facing applications
|
||
- Advanced orchestration of workloads
|
||
- Automated, one off, file based reports to internal and external users
|
||
- Full end-to-end lineage from data sources to data products + tracking of data products usage
|
||
- Improve relationship with stakeholders:
|
||
- Mature data contracts approach with upstream teams
|
||
- Mature tracking and communication with end-consumers
|
||
- Improve priorities setting with the business
|
||
- Keep on improving analyst experience to maximize productivity/avoid going into maintenance hell
|
||
- Transfer out accumulated responsibilities that make no sense (invoicing and other shadow-product-engineering areas)
|
||
|
||
Stuff to do to achieve the above:
|
||
|
||
- Hire a DE
|
||
- Migrate from PBI into a better tool
|
||
- Carefully add new tooling to the Data Platform
|
||
- Build SOP with other teams for upstream/downstream relationships |
