Why Data Products Need a Product Manager
from The Data Business Podcast with Fexingo: Analytics, Data Infrastructure, and Information Products · host Fexingo
Episode 56 of The Data Business Podcast. Lucas and Luna explore the emerging role of the data product manager — the person who bridges data engineering and business outcomes. They look at how companies like Spotify and Intuit have formalized this role, the difference between a data PM and a traditional PM, and why treating datasets like products with roadmaps, user research, and SLAs is becoming essential for enterprise data teams. Specific examples include Spotify's internal 'data product' teams and Intuit's QuickBooks data monetization efforts. The hosts also discuss the skills gap, the tension between governance and speed, and how to measure success with metrics like data adoption rate and time-to-insight. #DataProductManager #DataProducts #DataStrategy #DataEngineering #Analytics #ProductManagement #Spotify #Intuit #DataMonetization #DataGovernance #DataTeams #EnterpriseData #DataCulture #DataRoadmap #DataSLA #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
