A Unified Management Model for Successful Data-Focused Teams

Data Teams

Learn how to run successful big data projects, how to resource your teams, and how the teams should work with each other to be cost-effective. This book introduces the three teams necessary for successful projects, and what each team does.

Most organizations fail with big data projects and the failure is almost always blamed on the technologies used. To be successful, organizations need to focus on both technology and management.

Making use of data is a team sport. It takes different kinds of people with different skill sets all working together to get things done. In all but the smallest projects, people should be organized into multiple teams to reduce project failure and underperformance.
