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 pick up the discussion here in a virtual panel moderated by dbt Labs with Tristan, and special guest data leaders from Cox Automotive and Salesforce.
