I wrote about my experiences with building up a data science team here: https://medium.com/p/building-up-a-data-science-team-from-scratch-7a7b24ba9f2d

This comes mainly from my experience at an e-commerce software company in the last 3 years, so it is somewhat biased towards engineering teams and not analytics teams. I'm also planning to submit an abstract on this topic to some conferences, so I'm very interested to hear about other perspectives on this to get a better idea of the bigger picture.

What have your experiences in early-stage data science teams been like? What was important to make your team successful and what were the biggest learnings?
