Managing Business Intelligence assets has become one of the most critical responsibilities of Business and Information Technology managers today. Effective management requires assessment of operational strengths and weaknesses as a first step in improving business intelligence. In this on-line training class, we will define a structure and step by step approach to assessing BI operations. The foundation for such an assessment is the Business Intelligence Capability Maturity Model. This model identifies and describes:
- What should be assessed (Key Assessment Features)
- Assessment factors (Key Performance Indicators - used to rate the Key Assessment Features)
- Rulers for measurement
- Assessment principles, practices and methods
Each component of the BI capability maturity model is fully defined and a set of evaluation and assessment tools are described. Ratings and specific targets and scales are defined and explained. This course provides a foundation for understanding, analyzing and grading the design, development and implementation of Business Intelligence products for an organization. The course is designed to allow you to understand and apply the assessment methods and tools to your own business intelligence operations.
