| Why I want it | How I feel | What's my pain | Pain Killer | DO4DS is... |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I'm trying to take my/our DS practices + procedures to the next level. I need a framework for what I should do. | Unclear | I know our data science practice isn't production-grade, but I don't know how to get better. | DO4DS gives me a framework for thinking about production data science. | Clear + Full of Mental Models |
| I don't know how to communicate with the IT/Admins who manage our data science environment. I need advice. | Confused | I don't know what matters to IT/Admins or the words they use. Are they just bamboozling me? | DO4DS helps me understand the concerns of an IT/Admin and gives me the vocabulary to speak with them. | DS-Focused |
| I'm suddenly have to manage a data science environment as a data scientist. I need to know where to start with this IT/Admin stuff. | Alone | I have no mental models for how IT/Admin stuff works. Can someone help me understand? | DO4DS gives me step-by-step instructions for getting started. | Actionable |
| I'm administering a data science environment, but I'm way over my head. I need some reassurance that I'm not accidentally laying landmines I'm going to step on later. | Scared | I think I've figured it out, but I'm self-taught and don't know if I've missed something important. | DO4DS points out security and stability risks and ways to limit them. I might not have it perfect now, but I understand the issues. | Forewarned |
