Comments on: Agile BI, or why Big Bang warehouses should (sometimes) be shot http://www.bimonkey.com/2009/11/agile-bi-or-why-big-bang-warehouses-should-sometimes-be-shot/ James Beresford on Microsoft BI and Consulting in Sydney, Australia Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:00:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: BI Monkey http://www.bimonkey.com/2009/11/agile-bi-or-why-big-bang-warehouses-should-sometimes-be-shot/comment-page-1/#comment-1856 BI Monkey Wed, 26 May 2010 01:13:23 +0000 http://www.bimonkey.com/?p=647#comment-1856 Thanks for the link, i'll be getting a copy of that soon (though I have to say, registration for getting a copy is a big marketing no-no as i've alluded to elsewhere on this blog) The project that I was just starting when I made this post is now coming to a close, and has been a pretty solid success. The main thing i've taken away from doing a relatively large agile project is that you need to be very conscious of managing the frustrations of developers as the goalposts move and they have to shred and rebuild chunks of their code. It's an inevitable part of the agile approach, and while the business may like it because they can tweak as they go, developers don't like the constant rework and change of requirements.

Actually there are a lot of people talking about agile methods in BI, but I don't see too many people sharing experiences *actually using it*, so I appreciate you doing it. I know this post is a little old, but I decided to comment anyway because Forrester just came out with a report on Agile BI where they summarize the view of the approaches out there and do their matrix magic in comparing them all.
