Sessions
People are hard to understand, developers doubly so! In this tutorial, we will explore how communities form in organizations to develop a better solution than "The Org Chart". We will walk through using a few key Python libraries in the space, develop a toolkit for Clustering Attributed Graphs (more on that later) and build out an extensible interactive dashboard application that promises to take your legacy HR reporting structure to the next level.
