Like a supply chain, Business Intelligence has many moving parts and can be very difficult to implement successfully. BI projects have been likened to trying to re-pave the Indy 500 race track while the race is being run.
By defining the right projects and cadence while leveraging an iterative approach you will gain:
- usable deliverables with incremental benefits
- ability to maintain flexibility
- reduced risk of getting stuck in the "trough" of the hype curve
think BIG - start small - move fast...
is a proven methodology when defining BI projects and depending on where you are at in the BI 'race', it is imperative to understand what can be done today that will avoid costly mistakes later.
