Shane writes an AgileBI series called “3 AgileBI Things” published on LinkedIN Pulse. This article below is a copy of “3. AgileBI Things – 2016-12-06“.  Shane also writes on AgileBI concepts at AgileBI Guru.

1. Enterprise Data ‘Vault’ Warehouse

Great article here from Talend which does a good job of explaining Row, Columnar, NoSQL and File System based databases and when you should use them with a little Data Vault thrown in.

Beyond “The Data Vault”

2. Agility, Agility, Agility

When I learn about AgileBI I am always thinking am I learning a new Concept, a new Process, a new Template or a new way of automation. When I teach about AgileBI I teach about Agile Team, Agile Disciplines and AgileBI Processes.

Evan Leybourn has written a short but great article that outlines Technical Agility, Process Agility and Business Agility.

Domains of Agility

3. Who can be a scrum master?

Scrum masters seem to be one of those roles where everybody thinks they can do it or have done it, all without formal training. Not a concept I agree with.

Often it is a BA or a Project Manager who gets dropped into the role in their “Spare Time”. Good article on can a BA be a Scrum Master:

Can a Business Analyst be a ScrumMaster?
