A little light in places only giving a brief explanation and then saying there are resources/software available but providing full details.

Also, some points are blatantly wrong and very bad practice, for example, what is the point of measuring the time developers spend programming and using that as a KPI in 'performance analytics'? It is as inefficient a metric as it can get. A data scientist, a developer or any other coder can spend 80% of the time reading and solving on paper before actually coding something, how is that less efficient than just writing comments in the screen? The book should have contained 1/3 of the chapters, be more concentrated and cost 1/3 of the price. Analytics is a fantastic new world in the business, but it's not panacea and we can't label everything analytics.

A bullet point of ideas about problems inside a company and how to go deeper in case of need. Obviously, as the author anticipates, no technical explanation of techniques, but links and references, if you need to deepen. The title says what will be inside the book and no bad surprizes, but inspiring ideas.
