XAI (eXplainable AI) – A Contextual Introduction
Data science is not just about solving business problems mathematically but it is also about telling a story to stakeholders. It is a joy when one can draw out the “OOHs” and “AAHs” as mental bulbs warmly glow into existence as the results of an analysis are understood. More often than not, such storytelling is not possible when one bakes algorithmic outputs into products.
The Value of Upstream Kanban for Backlog Grooming
I have spoken about this topic in several conferences in India in the last year. After my talk, I would get several requests to share a “template” of the Upstream process!

Digital Transformation & Artificial Intelligence: Is your Organization ready?
Digital Transformation (DX) is one of the, if not the, most crucial initiatives that many organizations have undertaken or are taking up. The perfect storm of a wide range of technologies such as SaaS, Mobile, Robotics, IoT (Internet of things), Virtual Reality (VR), etc. is playing a crucial role in the Digital Transformation (DX) of companies. However, it is our belief that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will be the key technologies that will propel organizations through Digital Transformation.
