Introduction

This chapter explores recipes designed to give you an insight into your BI Initiative.

BI Initiatives can be daunting, and seem complex to project managers or team members who have never been part of a Business Intelligence project before.

By analyzing a few key processes, understanding your organization and culture, adapting your methodology, and determining your project team, you can kick your BI Initiative off with the right start.

In order to facilitate this assessment, the project readiness worksheet will be used. The worksheet will ask a series of questions which you can complete, and at the end of each recipe give recommendations based on your responses. This worksheet will provide valuable insight into your organization.
