Data scientists and data science managers, how many people are on your team? How often do you directly collaborate with your teammates, and what sorts of projects do you tend to collaborate on?

More of an art than science but just making sure our team is well connected. There’s one person that generally receives all requests and we discuss before work gets started. Stakeholders are way too eager to ask for help whenever they can.
The eager stakeholder is both a blessing and curse 
Does the request-receiver have some sort of official title, sort of like a data science scrum master?

Yes a double edge sword for sure to confuse us all! Unfortunately not official title but that’s a decent idea! Currently, they’re known as the data science product manager. We tend to rotate responsibility to take people out of the firing line. What’s your environment like?

We've taken the approach of embedding DS into specific product groups, and then having DS managers oversee the DS in related product areas. Most work is routed through regular sprint planning, but for unplanned ad hocs, we've got an "on call" rotation to answer small questions
