Can data science and agility ever hold hands? Or should data science be placed closely to research and be given its time. At the end of the day it is more scrub than scrum... Let’s dive into team profiles, workflows and frameworks and see how could they accommodate agility.

Ioana Barboș

Giraffa Analytics

I stepped into the field of data science before becoming a cool place to be.
In 10 years of intense professional experience, I have unlocked the power of data for corporations and start-ups alike, working with teams from Asia, Europe and the Americas, on some of the most interesting projects ranging from social network analysis in marketing, to AI for medical imaging, industry 4.0 and generative AI in intellectual property.
I am the first Romanian certified in Data Driven Scrum, root for and promote a more agile data science landscape.
I teach children about the benefits and risks of AI, and students about algorithms, with the same unaltered passion for data science as on day one but, an even more powerful sense of achievement, witnessing first hand how society embraces it.
