Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company stage and data stack to yours, since standing up a first analytics engineering function differs from running one inside a large, established data organization. Also decide whether you need help with team structure and hiring or with hands-on data modeling, and ask each person which tools they used.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01When does a company need dedicated analytics engineers rather than more analysts or data engineers?
- 02How do you structure data models so that business teams can trust and reuse them?
- 03How do you decide which requests the analytics engineering team takes on and which ones it pushes back on?
