Agile
 Waterfall works hard to
prevent changes in
scope
Waterfall vs Agile
 Agile expects and
embraces scope change
and focuses on
delivering business
value quickly instead.
Core project management best practices still very
relevant and necessary even on an agile project
 Do IT projects take too long to deliver?
 Is there a tendency to throw requirements and deliverables
over the fence to the next phase?
 Does the project fail to deliver on expected business value?
Questions over Waterfall
“Agile projects are successful 3 times more often
than non-agile projects…”
Fast time to value
Cost-effective solutions which embrace
change
Intuitive BI for everyone
Why Agile BI Works?
 No need for a complete Data Warehouse design before
starting
 Instead an iterative and incremental
development
 Fast prototyping encourages user feedback
=> fine tune requirements
Agile BI - Time to Value
 BI requirements change on a monthly basis
 Deterministic Data Warehousing not aligned to
ever changing environment
 Agile is better suited to change
 Agile BI characterised by a low Total Cost of
Change
Agile BI - Embrace Change
 Business users require access to answers today not
next week
 Cannot rely upon IT or report writers to deliver quickly
 The tools must support the business
user to satisfy their own requirements
Agile BI - Intuitive BI
 More frequent delivery to production
 Less documentation, more meetings and verbal
communications
 Less pretence on long term strategy
 Immediate QA
 Multiple leaders, more teamwork
Implications of moving to Agile BI
from Waterfall BI
 Use Waterfall …
 When the end state is well known, and requirements
are clearly defined and documented
 When the organisation process and business is stable
 Use Agile …
 When the end state is unknown or changing rapidly.
 Start-up or business in change
Which approach to use?
