Data Products Playbook

A practical guide for designing, building, and managing data products that deliver real business value.

The Data Products Playbook addresses common challenges like:

  • We’ve been asked to build a data product, but what exactly is it, and how do we define success?
  • Our data products lack clear ownership and direction—how do we improve governance and accountability?
  • We produce valuable data, but it’s hard to find, access, or trust—how do we make it more user-friendly?
  • Stakeholders don’t understand why building data products takes time—how do we communicate the complexity?
  • Our data team is constantly firefighting—we need a better way to manage quality, scalability, and cost.
  • We want to adopt a product mindset for data—how do we structure teams and roadmaps for long-term impact?
