With the rapid growth of technology, data warehousing and business intelligence practices have also matured. This book will teach you the best and latest practices to cope with these constant changes.The book begins with an introduction of business intelligence (BI), enterprise data warehouse (EDW), and the data warehousing institute framework (TDWI), explaining why BI is necessary for architecting and integrating sets of databases and applications. Next, you will learn why traditional methods, such as waterfall methodology and industrial-age mental models, do not comply with modern BI and EDW goals and how to replace these traditional methods with agile methodologies. You'll then achieve EDW/BI goals by following the seven steps of the extreme scoping planning process, scale the extreme scoping method from a project to a program level, and, finally, assess BI maturity using the TDWI BI maturity model.By the end of this book, you will be able to build business intelligence projects rapidly without sacrificing data management.
