The Role of Program Management for BI

by Claudia Imhoff

When an economic slowdown occurs, and cost cutting is the immediate objective, the best way to increase value to an organization is to cut the costs of waste, unnecessary or redundant processes, and rework due to missed expectations. Many organizations begin their BI efforts by implementing a small, easily managed project -- one that demonstrates the benefits of BI without risking a large investment from the corporation. Good idea, no doubt. If the project is successful, though, the requests for other such projects will start rapidly pouring in. Suddenly, the coordination of multiple BI implementations becomes a critical management issue. With that in mind, this Update is dedicated to explaining the functions and responsibilities of program management for BI.
