Adapting data at the speed of business with Sigma & dbt

For too long, there's been contention between business and data teams. Incoming requests to a data team span from adding one specific column for one specific use case, to updating logic for a point in time question—the priorities stack up, and data teams find themselves sifting through a myriad of lower-level requests, unable to work on higher, more transformational deliverables. At Sigma, we're flipping the script by enabling analysts and stakeholders alike to iterate and explore in a familiar spreadsheet UI, with the scale and performance unlocked by modern cloud data warehouses. In this talk, we'll cover how we deploy Sigma internally (powered by dbt and dbt cloud metadata) to truly give the power to generate insights from data back to the business, and create a more effective feedback loop when working with our own data team.
