A successful wrap

It’s a great day today.

We completed the version 1.0 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Quality of Life Explorer automation project. It’s hard to put in words how exciting and rewarding this feels but I’ll try anyways.

We managed to automate most of the data and computational processes needed to generate the 80-odd quality of life indicators featured in the explorer and create functional data pipelines to serve the application. Through this work, we’ve accomplished a significant reduction of our project workload and fundamentally transformed the nature of our engagement in this project. The completion of this work also revitalizes our team’s vision to building a reproducible data science framework at the Urban Institute and a unified data ecosystem. Let me tell you how all this worked out.
