Technology – Denodo Data Virtualization Project Roles

A Denodo virtualization project typically classifies the project duties of the primary implementation team into four Primary roles.

Denodo Data Virtualization Project Roles

• Data Virtualization Architect
• Denodo Platform Administrator
• Data Virtualization Developer
• Denodo Platform Java Programmer
• Data Virtualization Internal Support Team

Role To Project Team Member Alignment

While the denodo project is grouped into security permissions and a set of duties, it is import to note that the assignment of the roles can be very dynamic as to their assignment among project team members.  Which team member who performs a given role can change the lifecycle of a denodo project.  One team member may hold more than one role at any given time or acquire or lose roles based on the needs of the project.
