The importance of collaboration in analytics engineering - Count at Accenture
Analytics engineers are an integral part of the data team, but they are often far away from the business, leaving many parts of the business wondering why they’re there in the first place. In this session, we’ll cover how to make sure you’re analytics engineers are working in sync with analysts and stakeholders, and how to make sure their value is felt across the business.
We’ll be speaking with Justin Freels, Data Engineering Manager at Accenture, about how Count has helped his team work better together, and directly with the business.
Expect to cover:
how Justin and his team manage >800 dbt models and make sure everyone can step up and bug-fix any of them when needed
how bringing stakeholders into the model design process has shortened build time and improved the usefulness of models
