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.

Applied advice for the manager of the data science team. Much of the content will be familiar for those with a background in management or are common sense, but a useful reminder nevertheless.

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

Excellent course. All leadership in organizations that are data-driven or taking steps towards being data driven should enroll to this course. The quizzes could be better though.
