Dave DuVarney
Agile Delivery for BI and DBA Teams
Many business intelligence teams work within traditional software development life cycles. These cycles follow a waterfall-based approach: Gather all your requirements, do a design, do some development, and then several months later, hopefully there is something for business users to get their hands on. Analytical requirements are significantly more fluid and require a more agile development approach. In this session, you will learn how to set up an Agile BI team. We will cover roles and meeting cadence in an Agile team, tools for tracking user requirements and feedback, and real-world examples of how to break larger analytical needs into small iterations.
