Episode notes
Don't Rely On Data Hires Alone
- Avoid assuming data hires solve the problem: builders and data scientists have a skills gap.
- Do bridge the gap by translating builder needs into usable analytics rather than just hiring analysts.
Be Specific When Building With Engineers
- Translate your builder instincts into granular product requirements for developers.
- Write precise tickets and acceptance criteria to avoid misinterpretation and black-box features.
Start With Executives, Then Cascade Down
- Target executives who manage portfolios to get rapid value and visibility across many projects.
- Then push insights downstream so project teams can act before meetings and look proactive.
