Data products have become all the rage, even while most data people struggle to define what they are. 

For some, the role of data products in a mesh architecture provides slightly more clarity, while also being completely unattainable. For others, the benefits of data products loom large, but remain out of grasp thanks to misguided perceptions on what they are, and how they should be managed. 

This combination of hype and confusion is creating chaos – ensuring most will fail to realize any meaningful value from data products.

For those seeking clarity on data products, this presentation will:

• Define data products, while acknowledging the definition is largely meaningless.
• Delineate data products in a data mesh vs. data products vs. data product management.
• Outline the concepts and benefits of product management to data and analytics teams.
• Provide recommendations on how to break free from the chaos.

Come listen to former Gartner analyst and industry expert, Malcolm Hawker, as he dispels the many myths around data products, and shares why data product management should be your primary focus.
