PASS Community Summit 2008: Program Sessions (Business Intelligence)

It doesn't matter how good your tools are if you're working on the wrong problems. This session helps you identify the right problems by using the Kimball Method to define the business requirements. Business requirements drive all major design and development tasks in a DW/BI system, including the data model, the ETL system, and of course, the BI applications. The more you understand the business needs for information, the better you can apply your technical skills and the more likely you will be to succeed. We'll start by defining business requirements and the role they play in the overall DW/BI Lifecycle context. We next cover a powerful technique for working with senior management to prioritize the business requirements so you know where to start. The session concentrates on the practical steps and techniques required to capture business requirements and build strong partnerships with the business folks. We'll also cover some of the pitfalls to avoid along the way.
