Abstract: In dealing with hundreds of Data Science teams around the world, our team has had a consistent request: A proven, standardized methodology for Data Science that folds into standard IT practices (such as SDLC’s and DevOps) and governance. The Team Data Science Process (TDSP) is a robust, yet flexible, fully-documented and defined process you can use for consistent, successful Data Science projects. The TDSP takes into account all phases, roles and skills in a solution. Buck Woody, an Applied Data Scientist from Microsoft Research and AI, will explain how the TDSP works, provide you resources to use in your organization, and walk you through a practical example using Python.
