Effective Project Collaboration Tips For Teams: Data Science

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods and algorithms to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. It draws from many fields including mathematics, statistics, computer science, domain expertise, and information science to understand phenomena with data. Effective collaboration is important for project success. When internal teams communicate efficiently using tools, goals can be met faster and better work produced, increasing productivity up to 30%. Collaborating externally with stakeholders also increases innovation, as customer wants are better understood and used to improve products.

Data science

Field of study

Description
Data science is an inter-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and
systems to extract knowledge and insights from many structural and unstructured data. Data science
is related to data mining, machine learning and big data. Wikipedia

Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis and their related methods" in order
to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data. It uses techniques and theories
drawn from many fields within the context of mathematics, statistics, computer science, domain
knowledge and information science.

Effective Project Collaboration Tips for


Teams
You’ve analyzed the various methodologies, chosen the frameworks most suited to your project,
your team, and your objectives, and found a project management tool that fits your needs.
Throughout the entire project life cycle, you’ll have to work with your individual team members
to function as a cohesive unit.

Just because you’ve selected the right people with the right skills to accomplish the work,
doesn’t mean they will collaborate the way you want them to. Different work habits,
communication styles, and short-term and long-term goals can throw your entire team (and the
project) off track.

Clarifying the behaviors you want your team to practice, and establishing the values you want
them to stand for from the beginning starts everyone on the right foot.

We’ve assembled several best practices for setting up and managing your project team to
encourage collaboration for optimal performance.
The Importance of Collaboration in
Project Management
Before we get into building a collaborative team environment, let’s discuss why collaboration is
important. Without collaboration, your company will stagnate. It takes a team’s combined ideas
and work to pull off a complex project, to innovate, and to come up with the product that beats
the competition.

Collaboration is important for two main reasons:

Internal team collaboration increases productivity


When internal teams use tools and work processes that make communication and collaboration
more efficient, goals can be met faster and better quality work can be produced. Internal
productivity increases with smoother collaboration.

Some proof: A study by McKinsey & Company shows that implementing collaborative
processes and networking tools improved productivity by 20-30% in global software
development teams.

And California chipmaker Xilinx reported a 25% increase in engineer productivity by using tools
that encouraged peer-to-peer collaboration.
Collaborating with external stakeholders increases
innovation
When you seek feedback from your customers, partners, and vendors — aka your external
stakeholders — and are able to use their feedback to improve your product or service, the
customer’s actual wants and needs will better align with your product’s features.

Today, companies who try to do everything in-house are limited — It’s impossible to be good at
everything all the time. They need outside ideas and feedback to grow. The same works for your
project team. When teams work together, they can achieve amazing things.
