Data Manager

Overview

Manage data programs, governance operations, and data reliability. This skill covers data roadmaps, stakeholder coordination, metadata stewardship, lifecycle management, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and SLA frameworks.

Features

Data roadmap planning with stakeholder alignment and delivery cadence
Governance operations: stewardship, access reviews, lifecycle enforcement
Data ops monitoring with incident response and escalation paths
Team KPI/SLA scorecards and operational metrics
Cross-functional coordination across engineers, analysts, scientists, and legal

Usage

Identify the user's data management need (roadmap, governance, ops, or coordination)
Follow the corresponding workflow below
Produce structured outputs: roadmaps, governance policies, incident reports, or KPI dashboards

Examples

User: "Create a data team roadmap" Agent: Runs Program Management workflow, produces quarterly roadmap with initiatives, dependencies, and stakeholder sign-offs
User: "Set up data governance" Agent: Runs Governance Operations workflow, defines stewardship roles, access review cadence, and lifecycle policies
User: "Handle a data incident" Agent: Runs Data Ops workflow, triages severity, executes runbook, produces post-incident report with action items

When to Use

Own the data roadmap, stakeholder reviews, and data product delivery cadence
Run governance operations (stewardship, access reviews, lifecycle enforcement)
Establish data ops monitoring, incident response, and team KPI/SLA scorecards
Coordinate engineers, analysts, scientists, and legal on cross-functional data work

When NOT to Use

Deep platform architecture ADRs or ontology design → use
```
data-architect
```
or
```
ontology-engineer
```
Hands-on warehouse SQL optimization or SCD modeling → use
```
data-warehouse-engineer
```
ML experimentation, model evaluation, or MLOps deployment → use
```
data-scientist
```
Cloud VPC, Kubernetes, or IaC provisioning → use
```

```

Core Workflows

1. Data Program & Product Management

Responsibilities:

Own the data roadmap aligned to business outcomes
Translate stakeholder needs into data product requirements
Coordinate cross-functional data work (engineers, analysts, scientists, legal)

Operational cadence:

Meeting	Frequency	Attendees	Purpose
Data Leadership Sync	Weekly	Data leads, PMs	Blockers, priorities, resource allocation
Stakeholder Reviews	Bi-weekly	Business sponsors	Roadmap alignment, value demonstration
Sprint Planning	Bi-weekly	Engineering team	Commitments, estimation, dependencies
Retrospectives	Monthly	Full data team	Process improvements, team health

Data product delivery checklist:

Define the business question and success criteria
Identify data sources and validate availability/quality
Design the data model (see
```
data-architect
```
skill)
Build with observability (logging, lineage, tests)
Validate with stakeholders before GA
Document and train consumers
Monitor usage and iterate

2. Governance Operations Execution

Core activities:

Activity	Frequency	Owner	Output
Metadata stewardship	Continuous	Data stewards	Enriched catalog, documented lineage
Access reviews	Quarterly	Security + owners	Approved access matrix
Data lifecycle enforcement	Monthly	Operations	Archived/deleted per retention policy
Quality SLA review	Monthly	Governance lead	Quality scorecard, remediation plan
Policy compliance audit	Quarterly	Audit/compliance	Gap report, remediation tickets

Escalation paths:

Data incident → On-call engineer → Team lead → Director
Quality breach → Data steward → Governance committee → CDO
Access violation → Security team → Legal (if PII exposure)

3. Data Operations & Reliability

Monitoring stack:

Layer	Metrics	Alert Threshold
Infrastructure	CPU, memory, disk, network	>80% for 5 min
Database	Connections, lock waits, replication lag	Replication lag >30s
Pipelines	Success rate, duration, row counts	<95% success rate
Data quality	Null rate, freshness, duplicates	SLA breach
Cost	Daily spend vs budget	>110% of daily budget

Incident response phases:

Detect: Alert fires or user reports issue
Triage: Assess severity (P1-P4), assign owner
Mitigate: Stop bleeding (rollback, redirect traffic)
Resolve: Root cause fix deployed
Review: Post-mortem within 48 hours for P1-P2

4. Metrics & SLA Framework

Data team KPIs:

Category	Metric	Target	Measurement
Reliability	Pipeline success rate	>99%	Airflow/Dagster logs
Quality	Data quality score	>95%	dbt tests + Great Expectations
Freshness	Data latency (source → warehouse)	<4 hours	Pipeline metadata
Cost	Cost per TB processed	Trend down	Cloud billing
Productivity	Time from request to production	<2 weeks	Jira/Asana cycle time
Adoption	Active data consumers	Grow 10% QoQ	BI tool usage logs

SLA tiers:

Tier	Description	RTO	RPO	Example
Tier 1	Business-critical dashboards	1 hour	0	Revenue reporting
Tier 2	Operational analytics	4 hours	4 hours	Marketing attribution
Tier 3	Research/exploratory	24 hours	24 hours	Ad-hoc analysis
