• To make Agile work in the context of Data Science, we need to redefine what “value” means:

Value: stories that deliver demonstrable progress towards solving a business problem, from any level of the data value pyramid, ideally demonstrated to a stakeholder in a production environment for purposes of getting feedback.

  • And it makes sense because we are delivering knowledge, and that is value. So an example of these “new” user stories are:

Example: As a project stakeholder, I want to see the results of an EDA, so that I am confident that we understand the primary drivers of customer churn rate.

  • I will need multiple Definitions of Done (one for EDAs, other for modeling…)

  • There is a reference here to the 📖 Agile Data Science 2.0 book.
