Prioritization of Business Intelligence Projects
It is often difficult to provide a positive business case for business intelligence initiatives and often the projects must be prioritized through strategic initiatives. Here are some hints to increase the benefits for a BI project.
- As described by Kimball you must determine the tangible benefits such as eliminated cost of producing legacy reports.
- Enforce access to data for the entire organization. In this way even a small benefit, such as a few minutes saved, makes a difference when multiplied by the number of employees in the entire organization.
- As described by Ross, Weil & Roberson for Enterprise Architecture, consider letting the BI project be driven by other business initiatives with excellent business cases. To support this approach, the organization must have enterprise architects who can identify suitable business projects.

Famous quotes containing the words business, intelligence and/or projects:
“My business is words. Words are like labels,
or coins, or better, like swarming bees.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Give me a sentence which no intelligence can understand. There must be a kind of life and palpitation to it, and under its words a kind of blood must circulate forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
