Data as a Product (Panel)

Data Product Management is a rapidly growing model for ensuring high-quality and trustworthy data is available to business users and professional analysts alike. And while the initial focus has been on analytics products, there is no practical limitation to the application of the concept (think scorecards, master data, data monetization, data mesh, etc.). In this session, you will learn about what it means to manage data as a product, how to bring product thinking to your Data Management and Data Governance practices, and how to manage the needs and expectations of your organization.
