An excellent guide to DW project management

When I bought this book, I really had no high expectations : I did many DW project and knew project management methods.This book provides the first complete coverage of (almost) any possible issues, risk and problem arising in a DW project. It also, provides some guideline about how to manage them.The book goes well beyond Kimball (in the project management area) and provides many useful tools in the CD-romA really good investment if you consider it will directly affect your DW project cost !

Pragmatic Approach To DW Project Management

If you have managed lots and lots of Data Warehouse projects then this may not be the book you need - but if you have never been involved in a data warehouse project or served as a project manager, then this might be the best advice you can get for the price. Sure..you can hire expensive consultants - but before you do, take the time to read this book first. Master it. Absorb it. Then when your consultants show up at least you can judge their veracity and experience level.If you have to go it alone. Mr. Adelman and Ms Terpeluk-Moss provide the benefit of their experience as consultants, Project Managers and Educators to you.
