After working with thousands of companies, we recognized four distinct stages of agile data organization (Figure I.2). Each of these stages has best practices and guidance on how to progress further “up the stack.”

Figure I.2 The four stages of agile data organization represent a process that describes the lifecycle of data management.

1 Source

2 Lake

3 Warehouse

4 Mart
