Everyone wants to build a data-driven organization. It’s a popular phrase and there are plenty of books, journals, and technical blogs on the topic. But what does it really mean to be “data driven”? My definition is: A data-driven organization acquires, processes, and leverages data in a timely fashion to create efficiencies, iterate on and develop new products, and navigate the competitive landscape. There are many ways to assess whether an organization is data driven. Some like to talk about how much data they generate. Others like to talk about the sophistication of data they use, or the process of internalizing data. I prefer to start by highlighting organizations that use data effectively

Monitoring is currently undergoing a significant change. Until two or three years ago, the main focus of monitoring tools was to provide more and better data. Interpretation and visualization has too often been an afterthought. While industries like e-commerce have jumped on the data analytics train very early, monitoring systems still need to catch up.

The field of data science has taken all industries by storm. Data scientist positions are consistently in the top-ranked best job listings, and new job opportunities with titles like data engineer and data analyst are opening faster than they can be filled. The explosion of data collection and subsequent backlog of big data projects in every industry has lead to the situation in which "we’re drowning in data and starved for insight.” To anyone who lived through the growth of software engineering in the previous two decades, this is a familiar scene. The imperative to maintain a competitive edge in software by rapidly delivering higher-quality products to market, led to a revolution in software development methods and tooling; it is the manifesto for Agile software development, Agile operations, DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and so on. Much of the analysis performed by scientists in this fast-growing field occurs as software experimentation in languages like R and Python. This raises the question: what can data science learn from software development? Ciara Byrne takes us on a journey through the data science and analytics teams of many different companies to answer this question. She leads us through their practices and priorities, their tools and techniques, and their capabilities and concerns. It’s an illuminating journey that shows that even though the pace of change is rapid and the desire for the knowledge and insight from data is ever growing, the dual disciplines of software engineering and data science are up for the task.

It’s tough to nail down a precise definition of “Bad Data.” Some people consider it a purely hands-on, technical phenomenon: missing values, malformed records, and cranky file formats. Sure, that’s part of the picture, but Bad Data is so much more. It includes data that eats up your time, causes you to stay late at the office, drives you to tear out your hair in frustration. It’s data that you can’t access, data that you had and then lost, data that’s not the same today as it was yesterday… In short, Bad Data is data that gets in the way. There are so many ways to get there, from cranky storage, to poor representation, to misguided policy. If you stick with this data science bit long enough, you’ll certainly encounter your fair share. To that end, we decided to compile Bad Data Handbook, a rogues gallery of data troublemakers. We found 19 people from all reaches of the data arena to talk about how data issues have bitten them, and how they’ve healed.
