Data leaders panel: Building a mature analytics workflow

Despite technological and process advancements, analytics in practice still suffers from the same problems it did a decade ago: low velocity, inaccurate results, impaired trust…all with increased costs. Progress has been made, but there is more we can do.

In a recent letter Tristan Handy, Founder & CEO at dbt Labs, put forward the Analytics Development Lifecycle (ADLC). ADLC is relevant to an entire analytical system, from ingesting data to transforming it to analyzing it to building data products on top of it. He signed off the note with this thought: “What is required now is to collectively roll up our sleeves and push the conversation forward in every single arena.”

We’ll pick up the discussion on January 23rd at a global-friendly time, in a virtual panel moderated by dbt Labs with Tristan, and special guest data leaders from Cox Automotive and Salesforce.

Our speakers will expand on building a consistent, shared analytics framework and discuss:

  • Requirements of a mature analytics workflow including velocity, governance, and resiliency.
  • How the phases of the ADLC relate to and influence each other.
  • Collaborating across the three ADLC personas: The engineer, the analyst and the decision maker.
  • Ways to measure and evaluate workflow maturity in an organization.

Register today and get your questions ready as our panelists deliver their tips for scalable analytical practices.
