It's been a long time coming... ✨ So excited for the release of The State of Data as a Product in the Real World, a comprehensive study from Pathfinder Product - a Test Double Operation in partnership with the DataConnect Conference and Women in Analytics (WIA)! So much has happened since we kicked off this effort, including Pathfinder's acquisition by Test Double, and we are thrilled to finally be able to share our findings. The study is packed with insights about data as a product. We aimed to make the findings digestible, insightful, and actionable -- including analyzing key findings through the lens of different personas. More to come as we plan to unpack our findings with experts to drive more actionable advice. A tremendous amount of work went into making this study possible, so I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the folks who helped throughout this process. First and foremost, a huge thank you to my co-author Lauren E. Burke who brought her amazing data science skills and perspective and enriched the study in so many ways - you are incredible! I absolutely LOVED working with you and would jump at the chance to do so again! And the biggest thank you to Kelsey Dingelstedt and the entire team at WIA for being phenomenal partners - collaborating with you is a joy! These amazing data leaders and experts helped shape the survey and our research questions with their expertise and candid insights: Mike Alvarez, Divyangna Singh, Jason Gillespie, Kevin Keenan, Christina Thorpe, JJ Rorie, Nathan V., Scott Vandegrift, and John Petty. Thank you for your time and expertise! And a huge thank you to these phenomenal folks who provided quotes that enriched the study: Scott Hirleman, Kimberly Thies, and Rehgan Avon. I was so lucky to have thoughtful, detailed, and helpful feedback provided from early reviewers and editors: Jean-Georges Perrin, Michael Toland, Raymie Smith, Shawn Leitner, Cathy Colliver, and Ross Brandes. I can't forget to thank Ben Blanquera - this partnership was his idea. Thank you for all you do to foster collaboration and community, Ben! Finally, I want to thank everyone who took the time to fill out the survey and share their perspective! If you want to learn more about the state of data as a product, including how organizations of varying sizes are investing in and leveraging data, and the different perspectives across roles, please download the study here:
