Emerging Data Science Roles: The Machine Learning Product Manager
Most businesses already have Product Managers working with the Data Science team. During the early phases of Machine Learning maturity, model development is a lot like software development from a product perspective. A traditional technical Product Manager handles these without needing any new capabilities.
As the business finds new and more advanced use cases for Data Science, that changes. Machine Learning based products are very different from traditional software products. This is when Machine Learning Product Managers provide value using emerging capabilities to meet emerging business needs.
