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.

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.

Good overview of the roles and skills needed, but loses a little momentum when it gets into the team management side of things, which is covered in many other business courses.
