A note from DJ Patil, the first US Chief Data Scientist

It’s a note from DJ Patil, the first US Chief Data Scientist, summarizing his approach to tackling problems:

  • Dream in years
  • Plan in months
  • Evaluate in weeks
  • Ship daily

The framework for execution.

  • Prototype for 1x
  • Build for 10x
  • Engineer for 100x

The framework for scale.

  • What’s required to cut the timeline in ½?
  • What needs to be done to double the impact?
