Topic: Agile Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing by Ralph Hughes
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.
