Databricks requires way too much prior knowledge.

You need to know database design, cloud, data science, ML, streaming & batch analytics. You need to know Python, pySpark, and Azure. You need to know data prep, data exploration, and data munging.

Then you need to understand business problems in a specific function in a specific industry, and how to translate a business problem into an actionable plan. On top of that, you need the soft skills for influence and change management.

Maybe there are meaningful Databricks implementations out there. But most of them seem like IT science projects that have no business impact.
