5 It appears to me the cross-industry standard process for data mining
6 (CRISP-DM) is still, almost a quarter century after first having been
7 formulated, a valuable framework to guide management of a data science
8 team. Start with building business understanding, followed by
9 understanding the data, preparing it, moving from modeling to solve the
10 problem over to evaluating the model and ending by deploying it. The
11 framework is iterative, and allows for back-and-forth between these
12 steps based on what's learned in the later steps.

18 It doesn't put too great an emphasis on scheduling the activities, but
19 focuses on the value creation.
21 The Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) loop from John Boyd seems to be an
22 analogue concept. Competing businesses would then be advised to speed up
23 their cycling through the CRISP-DM loop, as that's how Boyd stated
24 advantage is obtained - by cycling through the OODA loops more quickly
25 than ones opponent. Most interestingly, in both loops it's a common
26 pitfall to skip the last step - deploying the model / acting.
