Whether you are a newly minted MBA or a project manager at a Fortune 500 company, data science will play a major role in your career. Knowing how to communicate effectively with data scientists to obtain maximum value from their expertise is essential.

It also seeks to help readers identify critical questions to ask data analysts, statisticians, data scientists and other technical experts to avoid wasting time and money.
