Data Mesh Workshop
Data Mesh is a hot topic, which we have addressed from our perspective with www.datamesh-architecture.com.
Data Mesh is a socio-technical decentralized approach that enables domain teams to perform cross-domain data analysis on their own. It follows the ideas from Domain-driven Design, Product Thinking, Self-contained Systems, and Team Topologies, and extends them to analytical data. Engineering teams can use it to work independently in a data-driven way to make better decisions. But they also get more responsibility, as data products must now be operated in addition to web/mobile applications and APIs. Managed data products enable high quality cross-domain analytics and reporting.
For organizations that align their software development with domain-driven design and microservices or self-contained systems, Data Mesh could be a suitable data strategy.
We offer a 1-day workshop that clarifies the central questions for your company:
- What is data mesh in essence?
- Does data mesh make sense for us? Are we ready?
- How can we start to introduce Data Mesh?
The introduction of data mesh is a strategic decision and involves a number of organizational and technical prerequisites and consequences, as well as corresponding opportunities, which will be addressed in the workshop.
The workshop is aimed at decision-makers and should ideally consist of 5 to 8 participants from the following areas:
- Head of Data
- Head of Software-Engineering
- Head of Product
- Head of Operations/Cloud
- Software Architect
- (CIO/CTO)
The workshop will be conducted by two experienced INNOQ consultants.
It was a great workshop thanks to your competent and flexible moderation! I especially liked how we worked through the (technical and organizational) changes caused by (the introduction of) Data Mesh in a very concrete way using the example of our product teams.
