Description: Traditional Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence implementations focus on process, strict adherence to project plan, and comprehensive documentation. For a project to be successful –according to this methodology – change has to be tightly controlled starting with the requirements-gathering phases, even though this is a time when the users may not be certain about what would work best for them.
Agile development, on the other hand, wants to introduce much greater flexibility to the process with the aim of making users happy with the system's features while greatly improving the chances of project success.
Over the last couple of years, we have been incorporating Agile techniques in our project methodology carefully taking into account the way colleges and universities work. In this session, we will review the approaches that have been effective and those that haven’t.
