Extreme Scoping™: An Agile Approach to DW/BI Projects

7.-8. juni 2010, Oslo

Faggruppen Datavarehus og Business Intelligence inviterer til todagers kurs på Clarion Royal Christiania Hotel.
Kursholder: Larissa T. Moss, President, Method Focus, Inc.

As you are working on your DW/BI project, you naturally draw upon your past experience with developing systems. But to your dismay, you find that, in spite of your experience, your DW/BI project is unusually frustrating. The requirements appear to be a "moving target;" communication between staff members takes too long; working tasks in a traditional way seems to result in too much rework, and using a traditional methodology does not work at all. To top it all off, the business users are pressuring you for quick deliverables (90 days or less) as they are still “fine-tuning” their requirements. As the project team scrambles to meet those expectations, data standardization is skipped, testing is cut short, documentation is not done, and quality is compromised. The end result is often an independent data mart or silo BI application. Sound familiar? But is it possible to do it right and still deliver in 90 days? It is – if you set aside the traditional system development methods and try a new approach. You need to create self-organizing project teams and apply Extreme Scoping™: an agile approach to DW/BI projects, which combines the disciplines of a spiral DW methodology with the agile development principles practiced on operational agile software development projects.

You Will Learn:

  • How to build your BI applications using software releases (based on Extreme Scoping™)
  • How to use a spiral methodology (BI Roadmap) to define your project
  • How to use the Extreme Scoping™ approach to plan and manage your project
  • How to organize and empower your project teams, including their roles and responsibilities
  • How to manage multiple inter-dependent projects under one BI Program

Geared To:

  • Project managers
  • Project team leads
  • BI/DW project team members
  • Business managers
  • Users participating on BI/DW projects


Prerequisite:    
Basic understanding of project management, data warehousing, and business intelligence
