Video Title: Should Data Scientists Become PMs?
Hi everyone today let’s talk about one of the biggest mistakes I see a lot of data scientists make that is p ho yourself Pon ho yourself doesn’t just happen to data scientists for example Engineers think they they should focus on code so even when they have opinions
On products they don’t voice them but it’s more common or more severe among data scientists uh because as data scientist our professional training actually tells us to speak class to tell us do not give opinions or give conclusions unless you have evidence better caal evidence to back up those
Opinions or statements but think about this lacking Cal evidence or lacking data does this stop other people to make opinion for example PMS for example your manager for example your CEO they have to make decisions how they act is they gather the most complete information possible and make a judgment they need
Need to have opinion they need to make decisions based on incomplete information in reality most difficult decisions actually do not have enough evidence if there is enough evidence to make a high confidence decision the en already jumped on the decision there is no need to do a complicated analysis so
We need to change our mental model to fit this reality the new reality is in schools we Face sufficient conditions our paper our research uh there is a logical deduction there are sufficient conditions if you satisfy a you’ll get B but in reality there are necessary conditions if you get a you are
Necessarily going to get B but if you don’t have a you are not going to have B so your job as data scientist is not to get all the sufficient conditions is actually to identify as many necessary conditions as possible bring insights bring analysis bring bring facts to the
Table and take a stand have some opinions about the decision and the course of actions when you do this you may find out that you are more competent than most people your opinions are actually important and it can help the business do better even when you do not
Have other sufficient conditions and the reason is data scientists they actually uh know the data and they know the Integrity of data they often have good understanding and deep understanding about users about technology and about the industry those are all valuable so do not picture for yourself do not
Surprise your voices just because you’re a data scientist have your opinion take a stand and try to help your team or your organization make better decisions on the flip side there is also a call out for the managers and leaders uh do not waste the talent of a data scientist
By just having a translator in between and give them SQL queries or just limit them to build models they are fully capable of understanding the user understanding the business when you put a translator in between you are just limiting your data scientist or data analytics work and make them less
Efficient and waste their talents encourage your data people to ask business questions and involve them in business decisions give them a voice on the table soon you’ll find out this will pay you a lot of dividends this is pragmatic data scientist hope you find this video useful see you next time bye

Very great insights Kedaibiao! I myself have worked as a Data Scientist (xoogler) and a PM and can very much relate to what you say. Decision making can be highly data driven which sometimes can be a luxury, but also we might have to have a point of view with limited data. Looking forward to seeing more great content from you! I also make YouTube videos on Product, Data Science and Entrepreneurship. I'm wondeing if you might be interested in collabrating on making a video together sometime 😊
I’m a 2th year software engineering student and I have interest in data analysis/data science since my first year but I don't know where and how to learn about business. would you give me some advice?
Keep up the excellent work! Thanks for sharing!
Great insights on the sufficient vs. necessary conditions. DS may not have the best position to direct what can be done right, but they are at the best position to point out what can go wrong.
