It starts off by identifying the key players in your story. Then you go through a loop of questions, research, and results. You look for insights and then add to organizational knowledge.

A sprint is a fixed period of time where the team runs through the entire life cycle. Each sprint should run all five areas of the DSLC in this fixed time. The data science team can run in two week sprints. That's long enough to find insights, and yet still short enough to adapt to new ideas.
