Summary

The fifth Data Quality Meetup featured a presentation by Ahmed Elsamadisi, CEO of Narrator AI, on the concept of creating a single source of truth through an Activity Schema, which transforms raw data into a comprehensive event-based table to ensure consistent data representation. The schema, accessible via open-source, enables users to map relevant data into an activity stream using simple SQL snippets and facilitates querying through 11 time-based operators, which are complex to code but simplified by an app that auto-generates SQL queries. Another presentation by Katya Ogai, Director of Analytics at AppFolio, explored different organizational structures for analytics teams—centralized, decentralized, and hybrid—each with its advantages and challenges, highlighting the hybrid model as her preferred choice for balancing technical and business mentorship while promoting cross-collaboration and synergies within the organization.
