Presentation Summary
Tim Huckabay; Northwestern UniversitySomething new under the stars: agile data modeling for BI
Must data modeling always be a bottleneck in our agile BI projects? Starting development without a complete data model seems risky, but are there ways to mitigate the risk and deliver good stuff to our users sooner? I will describe experiences with star schema and Big Design Up Front and their actual effects on the timeliness and quality of the results. After an analysis of some of the main issues encountered, I will describe some alternative approaches to design and data modeling and how I've borrowed ideas from them to get development started quickly and mitigate the risk of changes. I will include examples from Higher Ed subject areas such as Alumni Development and research support.
