Because it’s so different from traditional software development, where the risks are more or less well-known and predictable, AI rewards people and companies that are willing to take intelligent risks, and that have (or can develop) an experimental culture. If you can’t walk, you’re unlikely to run.

Skomoroch proposes that managing ML projects are challenging for organizations because shipping ML projects requires an experimental culture that fundamentally changes how many companies approach building and shipping software. Another pattern that I’ve seen in good PMs is that they’re very metric-driven.

We’ll unpack curiosity as a core attribute of effective data science, look at how that informs process for data science (in contrast to Agile, etc.), and dig into details about where science meets rhetoric in data science. That body of work has much to offer the practice of leading data science teams.

Bjoern Sjut3: My main issue at the moment: How will multi-channel funnels and ROI calculations work in a multi device world? That means: All of these metrics are off. This is exactly why the Page Value metric (in the past called $index value) was created. "Was the data correct?" That is the solution.

Having two tools guarantees you are going to be data collection, data processing and data reconciliation organization. Because every tool uses its own sweet metrics definitions, cookie rules, session start and end rules and so much more. Likely not. Omniture cannot save you. Only you can save yourself.

The lens of reductionism and an overemphasis on engineering becomes an Achilles heel for data science work. Instead, consider a “full stack” tracing from the point of data collection all the way out through inference. Keep in mind that data science is fundamentally interdisciplinary. Let’s look through some antidotes.

If after rigorous analysis you have determined that you have evolved to a stage that you need a data warehouse then you are out of luck with Yahoo! If you can show ROI on a DW it would be a good use of your money to go with Omniture Discover, WebTrends Data Mart, Coremetrics Explore. Mongoose Metrics ~ ifbyphone.
