Building Effective Data Science Teams

So what does it take to build a successful data science team? Whether you are the first "data person" at your organization or leading a team of hundreds, we know success is not based on just technology; it requires people to create a productive, effective, and collaborative data science team. Last month's webinar featured data science leaders from Caliber Home Loans, The Looma Project, Saturn Cloud, T-Mobile, and Warner Music Group to start to answer this question. You can view the recording of the webinar at Building Effective Data Science Teams. There were so many great follow-up questions that we'd like to keep this conversation going. We've also added links to an RStudio Community thread for each individual question if you'd like to continue the conversation there as well. We have paraphrased and distilled portions of the responses for brevity and narrative quality. What is a symptom that you have observed, during your time in this field, of a team being low on credibility within an organization or with stakeholders?
