You might need to ask

Questions to ask your business team:

• What has been on your backlog for the longest time?

• What does success look like for your team this quarter?

• Where do you see friction in your team's ability to hit your goals?

• What difference would it make for the company if you hit that goal?

• What’s a regular task or process that takes way longer than it should?

• Where is there a big opportunity that you haven’t been able to execute on yet?

• What could you accomplish if you had double the team size?

These aren’t data questions. They are questions about the hopes, dreams, and frustrations of the business.

Data can’t solve all of them. Maybe not even most of them.

But they make you far more likely to build data products that
