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.

Trifacta – Wrangling Dates (and yet another open data rant)
One of the pieces of data we use regularly is dates. Every data repository needs the ability to view the data by day, month, year, etc. There is often also a need to view data based on holidays. Funnily enough, you would think that a list of data containing the NZ...
Guided vs Discovery vs Blending Information Products
I have seen a massive change in the business intelligence, data and analytics tools our customers are buying and using over the last couple of years. The advent of data wrangling tools such as Trifacta, open-source analytics tools such as R and visual exploration...

Evaluating BI tools – Don’t get left hanging
Evaluating BI tools used to be easy. You either took a stack approach and picked a vendor first, then selected the modules you wanted to use from their product catalog. Or you picked one thing you wanted to do extremely well and selected a best of breed product/vendor...
Hans Hultgren – The 2016 NZ Data Vault Certification Tour
As you may have worked out if you have been reading our blogs for a while, we are big fans of the Data Vault approach as a way of automating the Integration layer of a Data Warehouse (DW). In 2014, we sent a couple of our DW experts to Sydney to attend Hans...
