In this issue of Cutter Benchmark Review we explore the exciting, if slightly daunting, world of Agile data analytics. The "vision" of Agile analytics is obvious enough. From a data management and decision-making perspective, we want our organizations to have the storage capacity of a jumbo cargo ship along with the rapid maneuverability of a jet ski. It's just as obvious that this vision is not going to be easy for most firms to achieve. With this goal and challenge in mind, in this issue we set out to learn more about what drives Agile data efforts; the tools, skills, and attitudes that enable them; and the barriers that stand in the way.
