商品描述

Using Agile methods, you can bring far greater innovation, value, and quality to any data warehousing (DW), business intelligence (BI), or analytics project. However, conventional Agile methods must be carefully adapted to address the unique characteristics of DW/BI projects. In Agile Analytics, Agile pioneer Ken Collier shows how to do just that.

 

Collier introduces platform-agnostic Agile solutions for integrating infrastructures consisting of diverse operational, legacy, and specialty systems that mix commercial and custom code. Using working examples, he shows how to manage analytics development teams with widely diverse skill sets and how to support enormous and fast-growing data volumes. Collier’s techniques offer optimal value whether your projects involve “back-end” data management, “front-end” business analysis, or both.

  • Part I focuses on Agile project management techniques and delivery team coordination, introducing core practices that shape the way your Agile DW/BI project community can collaborate toward success
  • Part II presents technical methods for enabling continuous delivery of business value at production-quality levels, including evolving superior designs; test-driven DW development; version control; and project automation

Collier brings together proven solutions you can apply right now—whether you’re an IT decision-maker, data warehouse professional, database administrator, business intelligence specialist, or database developer. With his help, you can mitigate project risk, improve business alignment, achieve better results—and have fun along the way.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

使用敏捷方法,您可以為任何數據倉儲(DW)、商業智能(BI)或分析項目帶來更大的創新、價值和質量。然而,傳統的敏捷方法必須仔細適應DW/BI項目的獨特特點。在《敏捷分析》中,敏捷先驅肯·科利爾(Ken Collier)展示了如何做到這一點。

科利爾介紹了平台無關的敏捷解決方案,用於集成由多種操作、遺留和特殊系統組成的基礎設施,這些系統混合了商業和自定義代碼。通過實際示例,他展示了如何管理具有各種技能的分析開發團隊,以及如何支持龐大且快速增長的數據量。科利爾的技術無論您的項目涉及“後端”數據管理、“前端”業務分析還是兩者兼而有之,都能提供最佳價值。

第一部分重點介紹了敏捷項目管理技術和交付團隊協調,介紹了塑造您的敏捷DW/BI項目社區協作成功的核心實踐。

第二部分介紹了技術方法,以實現在生產質量水平上持續交付業務價值,包括演進優越的設計、測試驅動的DW開發、版本控制和項目自動化。

科利爾匯集了一些經過驗證的解決方案,您可以立即應用,無論您是IT決策者、數據倉儲專業人員、數據庫管理員、商業智能專家還是數據庫開發人員。在他的幫助下,您可以減輕項目風險,改善業務對齊,取得更好的結果,並在過程中享受樂趣。
