This event gathered together leaders in data science, semantics, open source, visualization, and industry to discuss the current state of the data community. We discovered that there were many similarities between the then current challenges around data, and the previous difficulties felt in software development that Agile addressed.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the Data Practices movement was to start a similar \u201cAgile for Data\u201d movement that could help offer direction and improved data literacy across the ecosystem.
