Speaker: Anslie Scott

Affiliation: Atlassian

Abstract: 

In software development, teams have to make a lot of decisions about what to build and how to build it. Product data scientists are responsible for ensuring these teams make data-driven decisions; from the nitty gritty details (like where to place a new button to optimise user traffic); to the high-level strategy (like how to drive engagement). In this talk I will discuss a few of the many different ways we leverage behavioural user data at Atlassian to answer these questions, as well as the day to day of work as a data scientist at a software company.
