Data Platform Engineering/Data Products/Intake Process

Data Products Intake Process

We can best support and enable other teams when we are included as early as possible in their product development process. Being brought in early for design and strategy discussion lets us help to identify the approaches, solutions and challenges that will shape the work. That in turn allows to provide a more predictable development and delivery cycle.

You can track our current work on our workboard, we work in sprints - you can see our current sprint work on the right most column.

As our team is in a formation stage we are not able to accept code review or work requests outside of our defined request process for code review

What stage are you at?

My team has an idea that is just an outline, we think we need data

If you have a Product Manager they can connect directly with Virginia Poundstone, Data Products Product Manager, via Slack or Email. If your team doesn’t have a Product Manager then an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead can use the same process. From there, Virginia will review the work and help identify if and how Data Products might be able to help.

My team has a clearly defined problem and is starting to think about solutions

Your PM, EM or Tech Lead can reach out directly to Virginia Poundstone over Slack or Email. Please complete this intake form including any epics, tasks, documentation or miro boards. The task will be added to the Data Products board and triaged by our team. Our intake SLAs outline our expected turnaround time for the stages of intake.
