Working on a data science project is exciting. Understand the context, discuss domain-specific topics with domain experts, take the data by the horns, and tweak algorithms. Working towards providing business value can be truly rewarding. However, at the end of the journey lies a task that many fear — presenting results to stakeholders who, more often than not, live outside of the data realm. This might seem like an easy job — showing off what we did. We’re the experts, right? We know our stuff. That’s all correct, yet the difficulty I’ve observed over and over again lies in aligning the content we want to present with the expectations of the people in the viewing seats.
Two worlds collide
Working on a specific task often translates to starting with a broad perspective, and as we move toward the solution, our perspective narrows down. We tend to get comfortable with assumptions, estimations, interpolations, and best guesses.
