Practical Techniques for Successful Agile Software Development in DW/BI Environments

摘要

Despite advances in tools, technologies, and practices, a large percentage of DW/BI projects continue to fail, and project managers are looking for critical advice. Agile is clearly one remedy for raising the success rate of DW/BI projects. Due to their inherent focus on creating customer value by prioritizing business-driven requirements, Agile methods ensure that customers remain satisfied all along the development cycle. However, DW/BI environments are highly complex and different from generic application development, which makes it a challenge to apply Agile techniques. Nevertheless, the proper adoption of Agile in DW/BI projects can play a significant role in reducing the failure rate of these projects.
