First cut of the Data Practitioner Persona Examples.

Good start, they will need a bit of iterating until they are good enough for the final book.

ChatGPT has been pretty good at generating the Avatars for these once I got the Prompts about right.

Not sure if I should add an Analytics Engineer into the mix for the standard Data Practitioner Personas, I think the fact I didn’t add it straight off is my answer for this one.

I am tempted to add one more area / diagram in the template, a T-Skills diagram for the Data Practitioner persona type and the same format of diagram but Business Units for Information Consumers.

  • Do I find a space to add it or do I replace one of the other area with it.

  • IT will be the only area that changes depending on the Persona Type is this a good or a bad thing?

  • Do I align the diagram with the Information Value Stream so its consistent across all Persona Types.

Brain dump of the feedback I have got from people kind enough to spend the time to give me some on these draft, feel free to send me your feedback if you have some.

  • In some orgs the Data Engineer and the DataOps Engineer are the same Persona

  • Add a Data Architect prefix persona

  • Need to add a comparison between Data Analyst and Data Scientist

  • There is not enough differentiation on the Engage Bars across the Data Practitioner personas.

  • Need better differentiation in the Actions text vs the Work to be Done text

  • Data Scientist persons seems end-to-end when often that persona just works on the “Jupyter Notebook” part of the Information Factory.

  • Data Quality should be added in somewhere.

  • BI Developer persona is a legacy persona, based in large orgs or legacy tools, that data work is done by the Analysts in modern orgs / tools.
