Hello SSC,
Wishing everyone happiness and health and hope you are all doing well!
I have a question about Data Warehouse Management...
I have been a SQL Server Developer for 20+ years using SSIS, SSAS, SSRS and of course T-SQL. I recently have been given an opportunity to manage in a new company with no prior management experience (which my company knows about). My role is Data Warehouse Manager. I have never managed before so I am like a fish out of water. I find myself reverting back to being a developer, but the tasks that I have been assigned are very different. Like, impact analysis, data architecture, approving changes, leadership etc.
My boss on the other hand is not technical at all, but she is extremely intelligent and is trying to mentor me, but I think she expects me to already know how to do certain things. She seems to get upset when I do something incorrectly, so I am hesitant to ask questions. I would rather just learn on my own.
So, my question is where do I start? I would like to develop a checklist on things to address in the morning, as well as what to learn. I composed a list below that I have been trying to follow, but I feel like I am missing important steps as a manager.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
1) Check SQL Agent Jobs for failures.
2) Review user stories from my team.
3) Find user stories to test and approve.
4) Look for ways to improve processes.
5) Download management courses from sites like Udemy.
