In this chapter, we will conclude the Managing Data Science Projects section by looking at how we can help products grow and improve reusability. This chapter focuses on teams who work to deliver custom solutions for customers. You will find the content in this chapter helpful if your team helps internal business stakeholders at the company or external customers who want to buy expertise, services, and software solutions. The benefits of product thinking and reusability are underappreciated when it comes to the consultation stage, whereas they become more obvious if your team is developing a product that is focused on a market niche.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Thinking of projects as products
- Determining the stage of your project
- Improving reusability
