SCOUT24 
DATA LANDSCAPE MANIFESTO
ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND VALUES  
FOR A DATA-DRIVEN COMPANY AT SCALE

SCOUT24 DATA LANDSCAPE MANIFESTO
#1 Preamble
Data is a key asset of our company.

#2 Central Data Team’s Responsibility
We, Data & Analytics, are responsible for
providing a solid Data Platform as well
as clear guidelines and training how to
participate in the Data Landscape.  
D’n’A
DATA PLATFORM
DATA LANDSCAPE

#3 Data Autonomy, Not Anarchy
Data autonomy puts data producers &
data consumers in control of their data
& of their metrics and thereby allows
us to be data-driven at scale, but this
comes with responsibility.

#4 Producer’s Responsibility
Data producers are responsible for
publishing data to the central Data
Lake, for the data's quality, and for
publishing metadata that makes it
easy to find and consume the data.

#6 Transparency Over Continuity
We value data transparency over data
continuity, which means we may
break metric comparability if it is for
the cause of enabling better insights.

The Ultimate Goal
A federal landscape of data producers
and consumers with just enough norms
to ensure seamless co-operation
without severely impeding autonomy. M

Consequences for Product Teams
‣ Think about data & reporting
‣ Deliver your data to the lake
‣ Provide meta data
‣ Eat your own dog food: Consume your own data

Benefits for Product Teams
‣ Independently work with data
‣ No dependencies to data teams
‣ It’s easy to consume data produced by other teams
‣ Faster product & measurement iterations

How to convince everyone to go along?
‘Nudge’ them to participate
Promote the platform
Refuse new use cases in Data Warehouse

Design ‘nudges’ into the Platform
Make Data Lake easier than something else:
‣ automatic table publishing, partition detection
‣ backup and disaster recovery
‣ access control for restricted data
‣ optimize file formats (e.g. parquet) for efficiency

Learnings and lessons
‣ Change needs to be technological, organizational and cultural
‣ Build features to give benefits that counteract resistance
‣ Communication is the key

MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Have a strong opinion about how the
company should use data and build a
platform that pushes toward that vision.
