??Demonstrate the clear benefits new data sources can bring, such as improved decision-making and efficiency. ??Provide case studies or examples of how other projects benefited from new data sources. ??Offer training and support to make the transition easier for the team. ??Encourage open discussions to address any concerns or resistance directly. ??Share success stories of similar changes that brought positive results, creating a vision of potential. ??Show how the new data sources align with long-term goals and strategies for better buy-in.

Integration of new data sources can cause resistance, but you can also make it interesting from an engineer’s point of view. - If it is a new type of source, add it to the documentation first. The documentation will make adoption easier. - Show the relevance of the source from a business perspective. Understanding relevance is a half of success. - Gather training material on the source and double-check the version. Technology is changing quick. To ensure success and facilitate the process for engineers, it is necessary to have clear documentation, an explanation of business relevance, and up-to-date training materials when integrating new data sources.

In any business, there are always new initiatives and changes that generate new data. A business that doesn’t adapt and stays the same doesn’t evolve, so being in constant growth is the natural way. Having that vision of data scalability helps us understand its benefits over time and into the future. "Nothing is constant but change."

To convince your team of the benefits of new data sources, address their concerns around workload, security, or disruption. Propose a small proof of concept to showcase value, demonstrating how it enriches existing datasets and improves decision-making. Emphasize how building robust pipelines will streamline data ingestion and processing, reducing manual effort. Align the change with the company’s business goals for growth and innovation, and offer collaboration and training to ensure the team feels comfortable and involved.

To convince a resistant team, demonstrate tangible benefits, provide training and support, and share success stories. By showing how new data improves decision-making and efficiency, ensuring everyone feels comfortable using new tools, and highlighting positive outcomes from similar changes, you can overcome resistance and foster adoption.
