Abstract:

With analytical projects, something always seems to change at the last minute. What are your preferred techniques for managing evolving projects while staying on deadline? Our roundtable discussion will include how statisticians can incorporate "principled data processing", makefiles, Sweave, Beamer, Brew, etc. to streamline the process from data acquisition to report writing. Please bring your stories of success (or failure) using these, or other tools, to create a finished product.
