Tableau DriveA practical roadmap for scaling your analytic culture
Change isn’t coming. It’s here.
Business users demand self service…
The “perfect” data warehouse is a myth. Data is everywhere.
…wherever they are.
Databases Big Data Spreadsheets Application Data Cloud
The benefits of self-service analytics are clear.
But pure self-service does not scale. It requires programmatic support.
What programmatic support is necessary to scale self service without killing it?

Red flag #2
The traditional waterfall deployment model…
does not work for Business or IT.

The barrier is process.
Why waterfall failsIs this the red convertible you wanted?
Users don’t know what they want. Analysis is naturally iterative.
Agile methods speed up andimprove thewaterfall model.

The alternative is agile deployment
Visual analysis is inherently agile
The cycle of visual analysis is a naturally iterative process.

Applying agile to analytics
• People over processes and tools
• Working analytics over comprehensive
documentation
• Collaboration over requirements gathering
• Responding to change over following a plan
• Work in real time

Analytics @ Radisson
This methodology guided us through our first true cross-departmental bridge between business and IT. We now have employees who are identifying problems and fixing them in less than two weeks rather than 18 months.

This is change management
It will not work• If IT and Business are “at war”• if the organization thinks business users should
not have data• If the supporting technology is not nimble• If there is no champion
