Chapter 7. Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a data science manager, a data scientist who has a manager, or an engineering or product manager who oversees data scientists, we hope that you’ve found something of use in this report. One thing to keep in mind as we leave you: a great data science team will challenge the person who manages it, almost by definition. The data scientists who you work with are people who have chosen a field that’s characterized by its impact, by its challenge to its practitioners, and by its possibility. Your job is to capture the best of that and use it to navigate new frontiers for your organization. They will demand a lot of you, and hopefully you now have a few more tips and tricks to live up to those demands. Because, in our experience, the payoff to managing a great team is well worth the effort of cultivating one. Good luck, and go build something great.
