I’ve worked in a ridiculous variety of IT roles in the last 20 years from UK Turkey Farming to Japanese Investment Banking and somehow have ended up working with Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing at the regional University of New England (UNE) in Armidale, Australia.
I’ve been doing BI at UNE since 2006 and currently work as part of of a small team delivering what we like to think of as creative and progressive BI/DW capability.

Hi ROB,
First, thank you for your blog. Sharing knowledge is very important, and you do it very well.
I read your article about Scrum and BI/DW projects. I’am in the field of BI/DW since 2000, i used the dimensional lifecycle. recently i came accross your article, and i found that very interesting…
I’am wondering if you can share with us the application of SCRUM to BI/DW project… How you specify “teams”, based on what ? how you choose the process ( or subprocess) of the first sprint, and for ongoing sprints… At what time, you say it’s OKAY for this datamart, we can launch another “products backlog”…
Actually, I’am trying to apply Scrum to the dimensionnal lifcycle, i think that there are a lot of “complementarities” between these approaches… But still i didn’t find how to do that …
You help is very appreciated.
Hi Abdel
Thanks for the comment, its great to have the feedback. I think what you are asking is probably worth putting in a dedicated post. You touch on some important points and ones that aren’t obvious when you start out. We made lots of mistakes here (and still make them) but that’s all part of the learning process.
Cheers, Rob
