DATA SCIENCE IS
AWESOME
Data Science is awesome!
DATA SCIENCE
CAN MAKE ___ BETTER
Data Science is awesome!
...BUT IT’S A LOT
OF WORK
ISN’T THERE A BETTER
WAY TO DO THIS?
(We are Data Scientists, after all.)
Is Data Science more
like R&D or software?
R&D
“I want to test
this hypothesis”
Success is
measured by
model fit
SOFTWARE
“I want to change
the way people act”
Success is
measured by
impact
Borrowing Innovative
Practices
Lean Data Science

Just ship it
already
Minimum Viable Models
Do you have an ‘Alpha Nerd’ problem?
Pair Programming works for
Data Scientists, too.
15
Let’s Communicate
More
(Or why we have
scrums and
retrospectives)
Empathy
over
elitism
Some takeaways
1) Problems can have simpler solutions
2) More communication is a good thing
3) We’re all in this together
THANK YOU
