Abstract: 

As investment in data science continued to grow at CCC, the technology department adapted the software development lifecycle. From idea generation that collaborations between technology, strategy and the business, to quick experiments that test those ideas against the baseline, to an enhanced QA process that measures accuracy not just functionality, to deployment on a hyper-scale platform and finally to the support processes that make sure the predictions are within spec and a way to re-train and improve the models, this new software development lifecycle is at the forefront of process innovation.
