Generasi GIGIH Data Analyst: Closer to be Data Driven Product Manager

When I was at college I took cyber security and computer hardware as my specialization. I also took up internet of things (IoT) security for my international journal. This journal processed thousand line of data to examine the IoT's safety. Before processing the data, I had to clean the data by deleting some unnecessary parameter.

Before joining Generasi Gigih especially the Data Analyst path, the things that I knew about data were collecting, cleaning, and processing. As I told on the first paragraph, I used a bunch of data just for processing it without any analysis that could support decision making. But when I started joining the first week, I realized that I learned many things.

I learned that data can be useful for every company and organization. But data is still data without any examination and analysis. Thank you to Generasi Gigih's mentor who really expert on the data and taught me many things during 2 weeks of class. 

Fast forward, let us talk about the assignment. I remember when the representative of Generasi Gigih on the opening of intermediate class told us that the Data Analyst participants will get peer project in the beginning of class. Until the second week, we still don't get it.

Creating a reflection isn't a bad thing, but wouldn't it be better if the Data Analyst participants get analysis-related task to do? According to our mentor on the second week, he told us that group simulation that we had done in real case can take minimum 20 days of work. It was impossible if we can do it for 20 minutes discussion. Instead of giving us the reflection task, please challenge us to create an analysis.

I believe this program can be more attractive than college's task. My task on the college was attractive especially the analysis task. But, this program should provide us more attractive task. The thing that I enjoyed this task is when I can remember again last week. But it doesn't help my analysis and critical thinking. Because it just remembering what I've done.

In the future, I want to be a data driven product manager as I told on the title. I want to process and analysis the data to create product that needed by customer. In the beginning I need to undertake a risky venture and data can help me to measure the next step of my product. This activity need a very high critical and analysis thinking. That's why I need analysis-related task than a bunch of reflection.
