Agile Business Intelligence

"Business Intelligence without the Business is not very Intelligent"

Borrowing from the Agile Manifesto, this presentation addresses the importance of having business stewards and subject matter experts at the table before and during the development of a BI solution. Somewhat contrary to the Agile Manifesto, it also speaks to the value that an enterprise approach to business intelligence adds to individual initiatives.
