2010-2011 INITIATIVES


Agile Business Intelligence
Closed loop design environment for building end-to-end BI solutions

• Seamlessly integrates ETL, metadata Metadata
Modeling
modeling and data visualization
• Quick, iterative approach to building ETL
BI solutions
• Dramatically reduces license fees

• Faster time to value – insight in
minutes vs. months
• Reduce risk associated with Visualization
projects cobbled together from
multiple vendors

Pentaho-Hadoop Integration
• Data volumes have grown beyond the capacity
of even the high-end databases
• Hadoop is a powerful, low cost alternative
for storing and analyzing very large data sets
• Biggest challenge is that using it often requires
development resources to implement
• Pentaho will provide the first end-to-end BI Suite integration with
Hadoop:
• Easy-to-use ETL environment for getting data in and out of Hadoop
• Extreme ETL scalability by supporting ETL execution in Hadoop
• Coordinate Hadoop job execution with external ETL and BI activities
• Support for Reporting and Analysis against data in Hadoop


DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY AND
RELEASE MANAGEMENT


Development Methodology – Agile (Scrum)
Product Backlog Sprint Backlog
• Prioritized list of customer • Features assigned to Sprint
features and defects • Estimated by team
• Grouped by targeted • Team Commitment
release

Time-boxed “Whole Product”
Test/Development Ready for deployment

Product Backlogs Backlog Tasks

Time boxed “Sprint”
Cycles

Sprint Planning Meeting Daily Scrum Meetings Sprint Review Meetings
• Review Product Backlog • Done since last meeting • Demo Sprint Features to all

• Estimate Sprint Backlog • Plan for today • Retrospective and

• Breakdown tasks and commit • Roadblocks/Accelerators? adjustments for future sprints


Why Scrum?
• Benefits:
• Faster development iterations and availability of features/fixes to
customers, partners and the community
• Better visibility into prioritization and development progress allows
community and customers to actively participate by providing real-time
feedback as features are being developed (Sprint Wiki Home example)
• Agility to quickly adjust product roadmap(s) in response to customer and
market demands
• Ability to ‘potentially ship’ product at each Sprint iteration - features are
developed as ‘whole product’ including coding, testing and documentation

• Roadmap prioritization, release timing, and release scope
change frequently to meet customer and market demands
(refer to JIRA for latest roadmap view)


Product and Release Backlogs
• Generally target 2 major BI Suite releases per year and 2-3 minor releases of
each pillar (i.e. Reporting, Analysis, Data Integration)
• Quality Assurance testing is performed ONLY on Enterprise Edition packages

• Patch (bug fix) releases are provided ONLY to Pentaho Subscription Customers

• Roadmap View
• To view a project’s latest roadmap, click ‘Roadmap’ from the project page:
• BI Server Roadmap Example


Customer Case Management
• Enhancements, Defects and New Features are managed in JIRA

• Viewing your case in JIRA will provide visibility into:
• Status – is my case still open? Is it resolved in a particular release? etc.
• Priority (trivial to blocker) - assigned priority by Pentaho’s triage team
• Description – details of the request or reproduction path for defects
• Fix Version – what release(s) is the case targeted to be resolved in

• Open Source projects - JIRA cases can be tracked directly

• Enterprise Edition projects – access to specific cases can be requested
from support

NOTE: ONLY Subscription customers are provided with maintenance
(patch) releases


Customer Case Management
• Triage Team
• Cross-functional team from PM, Engineering, Support, and Services
• Meet every Tuesday to review all new cases and assign priority and target ‘Fixed In’
version
• Customer (Enterprise Edition) enhancement requests and defects triaged first and
receive a minimum priority of ‘Severe’

• Getting your voice heard
• Contact Pentaho support to check progress on specific cases or request that a case’s
priority be increased and/or included in an upcoming patch release
• Vote for cases in JIRA
