Good overview of forming Data science team. The challenges are typical of any SDLC project. However I was looking to glean some specific challenges between DSc team and product or marketing teams.

Most of what has been said can be applied for building Software Engineering Team. Nothing special if you have experience in managing Software Engineers.

good overview and introduction to manager as to what traits to lookout for and organising the team. Very practical approach and implementable without being over the top.
