I've been thinking a lot about the interplay between the business goals and data implementation a lot lately. My company is doing pretty well at the whole temple I'd say.
I've just completed my most complex and high impact project ever, and we still have upgrades and updates to go. To do this well I need to have a clear understanding of the business goals and needs and then be able to translate that back into data tasks & then scope and define them clearly to bring to my bosses to make the case of what is needed.
They are both really good at data + business, but I have just gotten closer to both the business and the data from being in the weeds of this project.
Its interesting to see this learning process im in the midst of all articulated out.
Wait till next week's article Annie where I dig into getting the business's needs!
And to your point, having this clarity helps so much when you are doing your day to day and translating business strategy across to data implementation (especially when you involve business stakeholders who don't know better). Unfortunately a lot of companies don't have this type of strategic material
Im lucky to get to learn from my team and have almost kind of a controlled environment for practicing. Once I can articulate the data + business need, my team is on board. And if im having a hard time articulating, they can help me. Getting better every day!
