A prediction with high accuracy, a prescription that beats human capabilities, and so on. However, for analytics work products to become a part of an organization&#8217;s business processes, the audience expands far beyond a single developer. In this moderated panel discussion, we will cover the work adjacent to analytics: <strong>project selection<\/strong> to identify the right things to work on, <strong>project management<\/strong> as it can help deliver more of the right things faster, <strong>version control<\/strong> to allow teams to collaborate and create more robust and re-usable code, and <strong>documentation<\/strong> for both the current developers and those who may follow in their footsteps.
