This report is a handguide for thinking about the problems data science leaders face when running a team. It’s a reference to help think through the current challenges of a team or to be proactive about future scenarios. It’s also a guide for people who have not yet had the opportunity to lead a team but want a head start for when they might do so in the future.

You are going to need more than technical knowledge to succeed as a data scientist. Build a Career in Data Science teaches you what school leaves out, from how to land your first job, to the lifecycle of a data science project, and even how to become a manager. Written by me and Emily Robinson.
