Building long term analytical agility

Rittman Analytics created a modern, modular and flexible data stack for FluentU over a number of development sprints, using an agile, kanban-style project approach that balanced long-term data modelling and infrastructure planning with delivery of analytics feature requests from senior stakeholders.

Using software engineering best practices such as version control, component-based software/architecture, DRY code and automated testing, Rittman Analytics team of analytics engineers are now transitioning to a support and mentoring role to assist with the hiring and onboarding of FluentU’s first data team hire.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Rittman Analytics”
