A bad diet

They say you can’t outwork a bad diet.

An intense physical exercise regimen won’t get you where you want to be if you ignore your food choices. This is true if you are trying to gain weight, lose weight, maintain weight, or train for a specific activity or event.

A data team can’t outwork a bad change management process.

A team full of great coders, skilled data viz wiz, and one or two data modeling experts will continually struggle to deliver value if they ignore processes.

It’s boring and unsexy.

• Version control.

• Testing protocols.

• Separate environments for Dev/Test/Prod.

• Code reviews.

• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment frameworks.

• Data Quality checks

Ignore the foundation and the castle crumbles.

I’m glad you’re here,
