Data & AI

Four years of Data projects at SFR, a master in Data & AI, and one conviction: AI is only as good as the data you feed it.

A Data project manager is a translator: business needs into specifications, figures into decisions, technical constraints into a schedule.

The role, in four verbs

At SFR, Data projects involve many teams and very large volumes. The project manager holds the thread, from the first stated need to everyday use.

  • Frame

    Turning a business need into objectives, indicators and a clear scope.

  • Coordinate

    Moving business teams, data engineers and analysts forward together.

  • Safeguard

    Ensuring data quality, consistency and sound governance.

  • Deliver

    Acceptance testing, go-live, then support until adoption.

Four levels of analysis

From simple description to recommendation, each level answers a more ambitious question. AI mostly comes in at the last two.

Fictional data, for illustration only.

AI, where it really helps

No magic: AI is useful when the task is repetitive, high-volume or predictable, and when the data behind it is clean. Otherwise, a good SQL query often does better.

  • Automaterepetitive tasks: sorting, data entry, reconciliations.
  • Detectanomalies in a stream too large to be reviewed by hand.
  • Forecasta trend to anticipate a workload, a stock level or demand.
  • Summariselarge volumes of text: customer requests, meeting notes, documents.

School and work, at the same time

All of my higher education has been work-study. What is taught in class gets applied at work, and the problems met at work give meaning to the classes.
