Eckerson Group recommends that enterprises take an agile, incremental, and business-centered approach to data observability. Cross-functional teams need to treat their data observability program as a living, adaptable contributor to the business—in essence, a circulatory system that must stay healthy. Rather than ripping and replacing processes, data teams should make incremental changes over time to ensure they do no harm to the business. And to put the right technology to work, they should evaluate data observability tools by their ability to support business objectives.
