Roles &\; Responsibilities of a Data Management Program
\nPresented by Brent Wilke\, Data Management Director\, Heartland Financial
\n \;
\nOrganizations make the mistake of mixing and confusing team roles within data-driven projects and the data management program. This can result in overload of responsibilities assigned to staff or the program. For example\, data scientists are often tasked with finding\, organizing\, cleaning\, sorting\, and/or moving data\, which is a misuse of their capabilities. The solution can be as simple as assigning roles\, responsibilities and defined training to the data management organization and the enterprise such as Data Scientist\, Data Engineer\, Data Analyst\, Data Management Director\, and Data Consumer\, and then define where they can apply their trade in the organization&rsquo\;s data-driven model. We'\;ll also have a short discussion on data management roles\, responsibilities\, and skills.
