DWH/BI implementation

We open the project by making sure all involved business functions, relevant in-house DWH and IT specialists are informed about the project plan, everyone's responsibilities and expectations from other team members in the project are clear. We aim to be super transparent and open, and encourage the participants to share their opinions, concerns and important aspects for them with regards to the upcoming initiative.

Development is ongoing from the project start until the user acceptance tests are over. The project team, which typically is a healthy mix of functional and technical experts as well as architects, works in a structured manner, guided by the business processes and the project plan. Team members are constantly in touch with each other and the relevant parties from the client side.

Periodic status meetings and reports - both operational and (depending on the project size) with a steering committee - are a great way to keep pulse on the progress, discuss any changes in circumstances and navigate the project process to achieve the best outcomes.

As soon as a specific module/part of the scope is developed and the preliminary testing from the project development team is successful, we aim to get the solution in the hands of the business as soon as possible. Nobody knows a company's data better than people who work with it every day - we are eager to hear their feedback, iterate and improve our deliverables.

The value of whatever we develop correlates with how many people are able to use it. The key to the business functions representatives using the solution is them understanding it. During the trainings we explain - in a transparent, structured and straightforward way - what we built and how to use it.

Reflection and transparency is good not only at the beginning and in the process, but also at the end. We want to look back and learn - hopefully together with you - so our next project we can be even better.
