Description

As statisticians, we rely on good quality from programmers and data management. And if you talk to your colleagues, everybody has a story about a poor experience. But the questions are:

How do we collaborate with other departments to create a quality deliverables?
How to strike the right balance between working on processes and managing people for maximum efficiency?
How to we take ownership and drive responsibility to learn from mistakes and not blaming each other?

Tension often arises between statisticians, programmers, and data managers when it comes to delivering quality products in a timely manner.

In this episode, Benjamin and I discuss how you can maintain a high level of quality that satisfies everyone. We talk about the importance of good communication. We discuss the balance between processes and people. While sophisticated processes may be necessary, relying too much on documentation can lead to missed opportunities or overlooking potential solutions.
