Planning a Data Science Project Training Overview

Data science projects can be complex and time-consuming. By planning the project early and establishing parameters, you can ensure that the project is aligned with business goals and that resources are appropriately allocated.

This Data Science training course teaches attendees how to define and scope data science projects from start to finish. Participants learn how to identify the business problem, define project goals, estimate resources, identify risks, set project boundaries, define success criteria and metrics, and communicate results to stakeholders. Students also learn how to gather data from various sources, clean and prepare data for analysis, and conduct exploratory data analysis to ensure their data science projects succeed.
