Ebook: Guerrilla analytics: techniques for managing data and analytics teams

Project data itself arrives piecemeal, is added to, replaced, contains undiscovered flaws and comes from a variety of sources. Despite these disruptions, a data science team must get off the ground fast and begin demonstrating value with traceable, tested work products. This book covers: guerrilla analytics principles: simple rules of thumb for maintaining data provenance across the entire analytics life cycle from data extraction, through analysis to reporting; reproducible, traceable analytics; practice tips and war stories based on real-world project challenges encountered in consulting, pre-sales and research; preparing for battle: how to set up a team's analytics environment in terms of tooling, skill sets, workflows and conventions; data gymnastics: over a dozen analytics patterns that a team will encounter again and again in projects. --
