Data lakes are centralized repositories that can store all structured and unstructured data at any desired scale. Data can be stored as-is, without first structuring it, and different types of analytics can be run on it, from dashboards and visualizations to big data processing, real-time analytics, and machine learning to improve decision making. The power of the data lake lies in the fact that it often is a cost-effective way to store data.

Listen to Understand, not to Answer. “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply,” wrote Steve Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It’s true: We often listen with a specific goal in mind, with the intention to reply, to share our perspective, or to convince the other person. As a consequence, we don’t pay full attention to what the other person is saying or filter what is being said; we only hear what supports our view.

In organizations that operate without a data warehouse or separate analytical database for reporting, the only source of the latest and up-to-date data may be in the live production database. When querying a production database, optimization is key. An inefficient query may pose a burden on the production database’s resources, and cause slow performance or loss of service for other users if the query contains errors.

“Is my prototype testable?” It’s a frequently asked question when running usability studies with a prototype that isn’t fully functional. The rule of thumb is the more complete the prototype, the better. I’ve run usability testing for over eight years now, and I keep reviewing prototypes that are quite limited. Despite that, some professionals new to UX research expect many insights to validate the design hypothesis based on just a few pages.

What Product Roadmaps Are (in a Nutshell). To start with, let’s briefly recap what a product roadmap is. I view a roadmap as a high-level plan that states specific benefits a product should provide over a certain timeframe, which may range from six to 12 months. I find it helpful to use the product roadmap so that it connects the overall product strategy with the product backlog, as shown in the picture below.

One of the key ways to keep work moving forward is to avoid working on too many things at the same time. Ideally, a person should finish what they’re working on before starting anything else. Similarly, a team should complete the work item or ticket or story (or whatever they call it) they’re working on before picking up the next one. At a larger scale, a software delivery organization should limit the number of projects in flight concurrently, and strive to “stop starting and

According to a Federal Bank report, more than $600 billion of household debt in the U.S. is delinquent as of June 30th, 2017. Out of which, $400 billion is delinquent for more than 90 days.
