Hi,
Thanks for the guests you have in this course. In week1, the discussion with Sol Rashidi [intro-to-data-engineering/lecture/uyNT8/optional-conversation-with-sol-rashidi], you have mentioned understanding the intermediate business terms and transforming them into technical ones. Could you please refer to some resources, books, or tutorial that can help data engineers to better understand some of those terms?
Regards
I think that would be for you to investigate, but I think that any books that speaks about understanding requirements and translating thoughts and needs into requirements may be useful for you.
There are some lessons in which they explain very well what you need to do, at least basically. I think one of the most important points is that not always what the user wants is what it needs. You need to learn to ask the right questions to add up to the context you have so you can have cleaner and more specific requirements.
In my oponion, a book may help you but it wont be a heavenly panacea. It wont tell you how to collect requirements in all situations. You need to be clever and need to understand what is important to know when building data pipelines.
In my experience working with projects in software / QA this also comes with experience, so dont try to rush things.
Thank you Sergio for your response.
Could you recommend any material about these business terms, please? I come from a technical background and I would like to learn more about these nontechnical stuff.
Would reading management books help?
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers
Do not have anything specific, but try looking in reddit what are some good that explain business and project management to technical people. For sure you will find something.
