AgileBI
As a BI Practitioner
I want to understand what AgileBI is and how it differs to Agile
So that I know what approaches to use (and which approaches not to)
When deliverying new Data, Analytics or Content in an AgileBI you have the benfit of leveraging the majority of the Agile approaches that have been defined and refined over the many years the various Agile approaches have been around.
But some of these some of these Agile approaches need to be tailored when delivering Data, Analytics and Content. This is typically due to the complexity that comes with data we do not create or control. AgileBI delivery is different to the typical “APP” development where the developer has control of both the way data is captured and the way it is presented.
For example I have found that using three weeks as a sprint iteration is more effective than the standard two weeks.
The articles below provide more details on the differences and the recommended techniques for deliverying in an AgileBI way.

Constantly providing something for free, its not normal (until now)

It’s ok to fail, just don’t
constantly fail doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. There is a whole philosophy at the moment around fail fast and fail often. The idea being that by working out what doesn't work, you'll find what does work quicker. And that finding out quickly...

Its often not what you do, its how you do it
The other day I redeemed a reward from Flybuys (whoot freebie!) and went into Noel Lemming to pick it up. Flybuys (Loyalty NZ) have made it so easy these days, no more waiting for a piece of paper to arrive via snail mail (sorry NZ Post yet another nail), you just...

SFT – Keeping yourself honest, customers will like the experience.
One of our 3 values is "Don't be dodgy". Its a value we don't have plastered on our walls anywhere, we don't have it framed as a picture, but we do use it to test things against when we decide to do them. In the world of Search Engine Optimisation there are ways of...
Mentoring as a Service Experiment
As part of the Agile week at BoostAgile, they gave me a copy of the lean startup book to read. I liked it One of the things I really liked was the concept of creating experiments to prove or disprove an idea or concept. Its one of the things we have been doing...
