95% of the companies with data science teams have teams of fewer than ten members. In a nimble team with a wide range of possibilities to make business impacts with data science, how do you explore and prioritize the opportunities? How do you ensure that there are sponsors and champions for your project? How do you set realistic expectations with business partners for project success? If you are leading a team, how can you delegate your projects effectively?

In this talk, we share three techniques for project prioritization, two roles (sponsor and champions) to identify, four levels of confidence (for predictive models) to specify project success, and discuss best practices for delegating work as a team lead/manager.
