Preface

I firmly consider that everyone in a company, no matter their function, ought to perceive the fundamentals of knowledge—the place it comes from (sources), the place it’s saved, and the place it goes (locations).

By default, we count on information and engineering people (collectively known as information folks) to have an excellent understanding of those fundamentals as they’re those tasked with implementing information workflows. However they normally don’t have a lot context when it comes to why sure information must be tracked and the way will probably be utilized in downstream instruments.

Then again, go-to-market (GTM) people (or non-data folks) know what information they want of their on a regular basis instruments however usually lack an understanding of the place the information comes from and the way it’s made accessible to them.

Attributable to my prior understanding of knowledge integration and enthusiasm towards fashionable instruments and applied sciences, once I led the client information infrastructure efforts at a fast-growing SaaS firm, I found that there are different less-obvious gaps that exist between information folks and non-data folks.

For example, extraordinarily proficient software program engineers who additionally doubled up as information engineers have been curious to know why I had them gather behavioral information with such precision and the way I supposed to make use of that information past analytics.

I discovered it shocking (and irritating) that there was an absence of unbiased instructional content material addressing the questions of each information folks and non-data folks. I questioned, “If solely I may discover a useful resource that explains this actually essential matter in easy phrases, my life and the lives of my engineering counterparts could be a lot nicer.”

Then I advised myself, “Possibly I ought to take a while to create that useful resource.” So I set to work, and the end result was this information I initially revealed as a collection of articles below Information-led Academy.

Quick ahead, and I’ve teamed up with Amplitude to speed up my mission of demystifying information infrastructure for product and progress groups.
