Intelligence Roadmap: The Complete Project Lifecycle for
Decision-Support Applications
by Larissa T. Moss and Shaku Atre
Business Intelligence Roadmap
is a guide to developing an effective business
intelligence (BI) decision-support application. The book outlines a methodology
that takes into account the complexity of developing applications in an
integrated BI environment. The authors walk readers through the steps of the
process from
strategic planning to the selection of new technologies and the
evaluation of application releases. The book also serves as a single-source
guide to the best practices of BI projects.
Part I steers readers through the six stages of a BI project: justification,
planning, business analysis, design,
construction, and deployment. Each chapter
describes one of sixteen development steps and the major activities,
deliverables, roles, and responsibilities. All technical material is clearly
expressed in tables, graphs, and diagrams.
Part II provides five matrices that serve as
references for the development
process charted in Part I. Management tools, such as graphs illustrating the
timing and coordination of activities, are included throughout the book. The
authors conclude by crystallizing their many years of experience in a list of
dos, don'ts, tips, and rules of thumb. The accompanying CD-ROM includes a
complete, customizable work breakdown structure.
