We have firmly entered the artificial intelligence (AI) age,. Data, the backbone of this technology, is more crucial than ever. If the algorithm is the brain, data is the content that feeds it. This book argues that to succeed in this era, organizations should adopt a holistic approach to data—one that uses product management principles to inform how data is sourced and designed, managed and maintained, optimized and leveraged.

This book moves in two sections from the fundamentals to practical applications. In the first part, you’ll learn about the concepts that underlie product theory, the data architecture journey, and the necessary knowledge to manage products of data. The second part teaches you to put everything into practice, paying particular attention to the designing of solutions to ongoing maintenance and optimization. By the end of the book, you will have tools to begin transforming your organization’s data strategy and approach to get—and stay—ahead of the competition.
