The Importance of Treating Your Data Initiatives as Products with Murali Bhogavalli

Building the Backend: Data Solutions that Power Leading Organizations

Your data team should not just be keeping the lights on, but should be building and creating data products to support the business. In this episode we speak with Murali Bhogavalli a data product manager and explore what is a data product manager and how they differ from a traditional product manager.

Below are the top 3 value bombs:

1. Data should be looked at as a product and treated as such within the organization (i.e. agile methodologies, continuous improvement…)
   
2. Organizations need to be more than just data driven but also data informed. For that to happen, you need to build data literacy into your ecosystem by helping everybody understand what the data means and where is it coming from and the quality of it..
   
3. Product managers typically use data to deliver the outcomes. But for a data PM, data is the deliverable and it also the outcome.
