What is the Mid-Market Analytics Engineering Practice course about?
Mid-market organizations face unique challenges: too complex for off-the-shelf solutions, yet lacking enterprise-scale resources. Distributed work amplifies coordination debt, tooling misalignment, and visibility gaps across data workflows. Without a structured engineering practice, teams default to reactive, siloed efforts that erode trust and slow decision velocity.
