Data Architect
The Data Architect combines the project requirements and source data documentation to design an architecture that is the blueprint for developing the final product. This role needs to possess strong dimensional data modeling skills. It is not unusual for the Data Analyst and Data Architect roles to be handled by the same individual on small to medium-sized projects. Also, it helpful for the Data Architect to stay abreast of the requirements process to begin developing a sketch of the data architecture prior to finalization of requirements.
