Survey: You're Not Getting the Most Out of Your Data Analysts Â
A recent survey by Fivetran reveals that data analysts are overworked, managing multiple projects across different departments. The majority of these professionals spend more than half their time on tasks other than analyzing data and uncovering insights. Data cleanup is the top-ranked project they would like to take on if given more time, indicating a lack of confidence in current processes. Other challenges include inadequate information to fulfill requests, poorly defined requirements, and too many requests. Potential solutions include data workshops, standardized request processes, and self-service options for non-analyst employees. Automation tools can also help data teams manage large volumes of data more efficiently.
