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.

SFT – The art of Innovation – break it and then fix it
Innovation is a popular word these days in business. Good old Wikipedia defines it as "Innovation is the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulated needs, or existing market needs." But being innovative is not simple. And often the...
Day 1 – Overview, Vision, Scope and Accountability

I’m getting flexible – a week of Agile ahead

Kathryn has just spent part of last week mentoring a SAS VA customer in Australia. We love this type of work because we help out customers help themselves (rather than black boxing delivery and forcing them to pay us for every change) and because we always learn new...
SFT – Watch the end of the runway
Often in a project we focus on the wrong things. Lets look at a project with the goal of building a plane that will take off. The challenge is that while we are building the plane it is slowly moving towards the end of the runway. Once we run out of runway the...
SFT – What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the latest buzz word and in true IT style, we have invented a raft of TLA's to explain what it is (and isn't) as well as a myriad of versions to confuse people even more. PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, DaaS, public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, BIaaS, How...
SFT – Don’t complain, suggest something better
When you find something you don't like a natural reaction is to complain. The people you complain to will often listen politely, but they won't typically do anything about it. (Unless you have something they really want, that they will lose if they don't rectify what...
SFT – Its not the idea, its the execution
Your idea probably isn't unique. But then again you probably haven't found anybody that has done it the way you plan to do it. So don't spend your time asking people to sign NDA's or telling them half of the story. Just go execute on it. If you not sure, or need help,...
