Data and Analytics Partnership Questions

Skills for collaborating effectively with analytics and data science teams. Topics include aligning on metric definitions, scoping and prioritizing analytics requests, understanding data team capacity and constraints, fostering trust and constructive skepticism of analyses, coordinating early during product planning, and handling conflicts when analysis contradicts intuition. Candidates should be able to describe prioritization frameworks, communication strategies, and examples of cross functional workflows that produce reliable, actionable insights while respecting data team bandwidth.
