Abstract

This project has been implemented to replace the waterfall model of development with a new agile model of development for data warehousing projects in an organization. Some of the problems associated with waterfall model of development include high cost, late delivery of business value, inability to adapt to the changing requirements etc. The main goals of this project were to reduce the project cost, improve the quality of reports to increase user adoption, and make the process more time efficient. The stated goals were achieved by implementing agile model of development to the data warehousing projects, and were validated by the analysis of the data collected throughout the process of project execution.
