Hello fellow datanistas!
Are you a data scientist who has been grappling with the question of whether Scrum genuinely caters to your unique needs? If so, I have written a blog post that delves into this very topic. In it, I dissect whether Shape Up, Basecamp's product development methodology, aligns more seamlessly with data science than current Scrum interpretations do.
Please check out the full blog post here. It explores the assumptions made by Scrum about engineers and contrasts them with the reality of data scientists. It also highlights how Shape Up addresses the deep specialization and intricate tooling knowledge needed in data science.
But that's not all! I also discuss how Shape Up embodies Agile principles, the ways in which it needs modification for data science projects, and how to derive the best of both worlds.
If you find the blog post insightful, I encourage you to share it with others who may benefit from it. Together, let's navigate the world of data science and software methodologies!
Cheers,
Eric
