Title: Executive Briefing on Agile Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing
Overview: While Agile approaches for the development of transaction- and data capture-applications have been around since before the publication of the Agile Manifesto 10 years ago, employing Agile methods such as Scrum and XP to build large, data-driven systems such as data warehouses is new. New, but luckily just as effective. This briefing will provide an overview of how agile concepts can be applied to data warehousing and business intelligence projects to significantly shorten the development cycle from traditional waterfall-based methods. We will outline the key differences in the pivotal areas of team collaboration, requirements gathering, and quality assurance. We will finish by examining the combination of agile methods with next-generation DW/BI tools to achieve maximum speed-to-market through “back filling” the warehouse architecture.
The “big up-front” paradigm is thing of the past that grievously misallocates resources. The solution: focus on the true generator of value within every project and optimize outwardly form there.
