Topic: Because data projects don’t have to be daunting. Explore the hidden side of data and learn practical ways PMs can bring clarity to their projects.
Ever wondered what really happens behind the dashboards, reports, and metrics? Join us in our next session where we take a peek into the world of data projects, without the heavy tech jargon. You’ll learn:
1- The different roles in a data team (engineers, analysts, scientists) and how to collaborate with them effectively.
2- Understand the data project lifecycle. What makes it different from traditional IT projects, and where risks can creep in.
3- Why clean data and clear definitions are the secret to project success, and how PMs can champion better data quality practices.
Through simple metaphors, real-world stories, and practical examples, this session will help you feel confident when your projects involve data.
Takeaways:
- A clear understanding of the hidden layers of data projects.
- Practical questions to frame better conversations with data teams.
- Confidence to guide projects where data is at the core, without needing to be a data expert.
This will be an interactive, insightful, and an approachable conversation that bridges the gap between project managers and data.
