An Agile Business Intelligence Manifesto for Higher Education

By following agile methodologies, business intelligence project owners can deliver useful results more quickly to stakeholders. Elsa Cardoso of the ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon in Portugal and Louise Nelson of the University of Texas at Austin will provide examples of ways that higher education institutions at different levels of BI maturity can apply agile techniques when defining, scoping, building, and delivering business intelligence solutions. Whether your institution is at an early stage of BI implementation or looking to expand on an existing program, an agile approach can provide your customers with the results they want on the timeline they need. Objectives of this session: (1) Identify the key success factors for achieving high-quality BI solutions; (2) Show how the agile manifesto can be adapted for use in the BI development process in HE; and (3) How to start from where you are: assess the BI maturity level of your HE institution and build a plan from that.
