Oh cool! I have some questions:

1. Does the data org work in isolation from other orgs? I'm guessing not.

2. Does the data org consist of non-engineers? If yes, are they also onboarded into GitHub with their own GH accounts?

3. If (1) is no, what tool is used to track cross-org work? Does the company also use Jira or some other tool and is GH projects integrated with them or something? I'm really curious about this workflow if it is relevant to how you folks work.

1. No -- the project boards and issue tracker were visible to the whole company, which was helpful for being able to show people what we were doing and where their requests were scheduled. Our points of contact within departments we supported worked particularly closely with my team to co-manage the projects.

2. Most of the ICs didn't have an engineering background, and came from a more traditional data analyst background. When I arrived, the only thing actually version controlled in Git was LookML that wasn't actually used. Many learned Git and GitHub for the first time there.
