How to Build Modern Data Architectures Faster

Feb 26, 2025

A big moment for every company is when they finally decide to really invest in a data architecture.

Maybe it's completely greenfield.

Or maybe there's already something in place but it desperately needs an upgrade.

 

Either way, this can be a really exciting time... but also kind of overwhelming.

There may be a ton of data sources you know you need to set up.

There are expectations from stakeholders.

And then everything in the middle around how to actually model and create an end-to-end pipeline.

 

So in today's video I want to share the approach that I often take with clients which is what I like to refer to as Output Led Engineering.

It's a strategy that not only helps you set foundations from the start...

But also helps narrow the scope so you don't get totally overwhelmed.

All while also delivering results to the business fast 

Enjoy.
