Data Management Wonk’s 2012 Reading List

Data Management Wonk’s 2012 Reading List

Last year at this time, I created the inaugural edition of the Data Management Wonk’s Reading List.  It seems to have been well-enough received so I am doing it again this year.

Data Management’s Technical Debt Crisis

One of my favorite pet phrases is, “Pay me now, or pay me later; either way, you’re gonna pay me.”  This is my way of pointing out that the decision being made at that moment could have long-term effects on the product being developed.  I want people to see that their sub-optimal decisions can come [...]

Why Discuss Leadership in a Data Management Blog?

Why Discuss Leadership in a Data Management Blog?

A topic that will surface on this blog over and over again is that effective leadership is essential to running a successful business.  This is as true for the IT management team as it is for the business management team.  My intent with this blog is to broaden your horizons as an architect; to get [...]
