[it] is a symptom of really bad project management

[it] is a symptom of really bad project management. It seems to me that the way to solve this problem is to have everybody in the room when the project is being designed … It’s sort of like life insurance. You know, you don’t really need it until you need it, but you’ve got to keep having it, even when you don’t need it. The projects that I’ve seen that have been most successful are the projects in which the data scientists, the data engineers, and… the application developers are all there in the room from the beginning, with the customer talking about what the problem is they want to solve, what a minimal product is, what the final solution should be, what the users expect out of this. And if you start from that place you’re much more likely to get empathy. …That’s the first thing. — https://blog.dominodatalab.com/collaboration-data-science-data-engineering-true-false/
