Managing Data Science

By: Kirill Dubovikov

Overview of this book

Data science and machine learning can transform any organization and unlock new opportunities. However, employing the right management strategies is crucial to guide the solution from prototype to production. Traditional approaches often fail as they don't entirely meet the conditions and requirements necessary for current data science projects. In this book, you'll explore the right approach to data science project management, along with useful tips and best practices to guide you along the way. After understanding the practical applications of data science and artificial intelligence, you'll see how to incorporate them into your solutions. Next, you will go through the data science project life cycle, explore the common pitfalls encountered at each step, and learn how to avoid them. Any data science project requires a skilled team, and this book will offer the right advice for hiring and growing a data science team for your organization. Later, you'll be shown how to efficiently manage and improve your data science projects through the use of DevOps and ModelOps. By the end of this book, you will be well versed with various data science solutions and have gained practical insights into tackling the different challenges that you'll encounter on a daily basis.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered ModelOps – a set of practices for automating a common set of operations that arise in data science projects. We explored how ModelOps relates to DevOps and described major steps in the ModelOps pipeline. We looked at strategies for managing code, versioning data, and sharing project environments between team members. We also examined the importance of experiment tracking and automated testing for data science projects. As a conclusion, we outlined the full CI/CD pipeline with continuous model training and explored a set of tools that can be used to build such pipelines.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to build and manage a data science technology stack.
