Résumé

Data warehouse development projects present a unique set of management challenges that can confound even the most experienced project
manager. Data Warehouse Project Management addresses these challenges and provides a comprehensive roadmap to managing every
aspect of data warehouse design, development, and implementation. Drawing on their extensive experience in the field, Sid Adelman and
Larissa Moss point to critical success factors, reveal the many pitfalls to watch out for, and offer proven solutions that will enable you to put a
successful data warehouse project into place.
You will find in-depth coverage of such topics as:

Critical success factors and reasons for failures
Measuring results
Cost-benefit analysis
Selecting the right software and vendors
Roles and responsibilities of team members
Methodology, including rapid application development and parallel development tracks
Developing a logical and physical data model for smooth data integration
The important issue of data quality and how to cleanse dirty data from source files

At the end of each chapter, "A Cautionary Tale" warns you of potential problems, and a workshop enables you to practice what you've just
learned. The book concludes with a comprehensive example that illustrates project planning and management in action, from determining
milestones, schedules, and tasks to maintaining control when the project goes off course. An accompanying CD-ROM contains the
workshops in electronic format as well as helpful templates and additional reading material
