During the past month, we conducted at poll to see what project management framework teams used to help execute their data science projects. Based on our survey of 109 respondents, CRISP-DM was the most commonly used data science process framework (it was used by about half the respondents). This was followed by Scrum, Kanban and “my […]
A data science workflow defines the phases (or steps) in a data science project. Using a well-defined data science workflow is useful in that it provides a simple way to remind all data science team members of the work to be done to do a data science project. One way to think about the benefit […]
How do you effectively define a data science process? Conceptually, a data science process explains and defines how a team should execute a project. Having a robust, repeatable process helps to ensure that the project efficiently and effectively delivers actionable insight.

While there is no standard process for a team to use when working on a data science project, CRISP-DM (CRoss-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) is one framework that is often considered for data science projects. Perhaps because of this, there are lots of web sites describing the 6 phases of a CRISP-DM project, and […]
Due to efforts to lower the spread of COVID-19, the vast majority of data science teams are now working remote. Unfortunately, many teams are not used to working remote and so, are not aware of the challenges that need to be considered when working in a remote data science team. Most importantly – teams need […]
Based on my personal experience, below are the 8 key data science team roles to think about when building and leading a data science team. These are not in any specific order, as their importance might vary from one project to another, or from one organization to another. Furthermore, not all roles are required to […]
Exploring how to “do” agile data science
Integrating Ethics in a Data Science Project: 10 Questions a Data Science Project Team Should Ask While the potential ethical issues that might arise when using data science and artificial intelligence have certainly been in the popular press recently, there is not been as much discussion with respect to how a data science team should […]
The Need for a New Agile Framework When teams try to use an agile framework for data science, they often try to use Scrum, Kanban. Below I review the key challenges teams have in leveraging these frameworks have challenges. I also briefly explore a TDSP, which is newer framework already discussed on this web site. […]
