Abstract

This paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of CRISP-DM when used for data science projects. The paper then explores what key actions data science teams using CRISP-DM should consider that addresses CRISP-DM's weaknesses. In brief, CRISP-DM, which is the most popular framework teams use to execute data science projects, provides an easy to understand description of the data science project workflow (i.e., the data science life cycle). However, CRISP-DM's project phases miss some key aspects of the data science project life cycle. In addition, CRISP-DM's task-focused approach fails to address how a team should prioritize tasks, and in general, collaborate and communicate. Hence, this paper also describes how CRISP-DM could be combined with a team coordination framework, such as Scrum or Data Driven Scrum, which is a newer collaboration framework developed to address the unique data science coordination challenges.
