Creating a Culture that Works for Data Science and Engineering

Written by Allison Sullivan, PHD - Civis AnalyticsProduct management resources often focus on collaborating with engineering and design. However, products are increasingly powered by data science, and getting data science into production means teams need to be even more cross-functional than they have been in the past. Data scientists aren’t always familiar with product processes, and engineers aren’t always comfortable working with ambiguity. That’s where the role of a product manager can be…See More

We recently worked with a global tool manufacturing company to reduce churn among their most loyal customers. A newly proposed tool, called SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanation) values, allowed us to build a complex time-series XGBoost model capable of making highly accurate predictions for which customers were at risk, while still allowing for an individual-level interpretation of…See More
