Does a stakeholder need something immediately? Do you drop everything to calculate that metric for them? Spend hours adding it to one of your core dashboards? You'd be surprised how many requests work themselves out without taking critical time away from the core work of a data team. Sure, we exist to serve stakeholders, but it's also our job to move the business in a direction that's more sustainable and dependable. Even if it means slowing down to uncover the root cause of the problem.
