I think two of the most under appreciated parts of a Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing project are gathering the project requirements and creating the action plan of implementing the solution, often referred to as “Change Management”. Now, some groups deal with each of these techniques with their own methodology. Others see this as part of the normal project process, haphazardly hitting the high-level topics and driving to the finish line hoping that no one asks them for the directions on how exactly they got there. Because after all isn’t the goal to provide the solution and not every atomic step it took to get there?
I sit on the fence with that question because the answer really depends on each project and each client. However, there are several consultant groups that earn their dollar by solely providing Content Management professional services.
