This is a post about my experience creating a 2021 roadmap for my team at Omio. I say data team in the title but perhaps it’s more apt for a data engineering team such as the one I am leading. It’s that time of the year again when some of us start building a mental map of what’s next. My shower time was consumed by exactly these kind of thoughts for the last few weeks so I decided to put all of it on paper.
All good engineering teams should be rooted in a core set of values. These values act as the north-star for the team and enable it to align its activities with meaningful business outcomes.
