The importance of data teams is undeniable. Most companies today use data to drive decision-making on anything from software feature development to product strategy, hiring and marketing. In some companies data is the product, which can make data teams even more vital. But there’s a common problem – analyzing data is hard and time consuming. Lots of people have questions they want to answer with data, but data teams often don’t have the resources to move quickly. This can create a pernicious effect where organizations stop asking questions about their own data.
