When to hire a Fractional Looker Developer
You do not need a full-time Looker Developer on day one. These are the signals that tell you it is time to bring in dedicated Looker expertise now.
Your dashboards are unreliable or inconsistent
Business teams are pulling different numbers from the same data source and trust in your BI layer is eroding. A Looker Developer can rebuild your LookML models with a single source of truth.
Your data team is drowning in ad hoc requests
Analysts are spending more time building one-off reports than doing analysis. A dedicated Looker Developer can build self-serve dashboards that reduce the request backlog.
You are migrating to or expanding Looker
You are moving from another BI tool or scaling Looker to new business units and need an experienced developer to architect the data model and govern the Looker environment from the start.
