Data Practitioners as Part of Functional Teams
The best data practitioners tend to see themselves working with functional teams rather than solely on the data team. This perspective extends to technical data science roles such as machine learning engineers who consider themselves part of the engineering team, rather than the data team. Analysts, on the other hand, see themselves as integral members of teams such as marketing or fraud, focusing on supporting and contributing to the specific functional objectives of those teams. Conversely, insular data teams that isolate themselves may hinder collaboration and alignment with broader business goals.
