DESCRIPTION

This product (WBS for Agile Business Intelligence Projects) is an Excel template (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

This template provides a work breakdown structure for business intelligence projects and for requirement effort estimation for a waterfall methodology-based project or user story estimation for an agile-based project. The template is based on project requirement complexity (low, medium and high). For this template, the assumption is that ETL (extract, transform, load) and the front-end visualization portion (reporting) are part of project development. Project Management and contingency hours should be considered while estimating any type of project from 10-20% depending on the project, SOW type, external dependencies, anticipated delays in data sourcing, etc.

This template is meticulously structured to cover all facets of an Agile Business Intelligence project. The work breakdown structure (WBS) includes detailed segments for project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Each phase is broken down into manageable tasks to ensure comprehensive coverage and efficient project management.

The WBS also incorporates a robust risk management section, emphasizing the identification, assessment, and mitigation of potential project risks. This ensures that your team can proactively address issues before they escalate, maintaining project momentum and meeting deadlines. The template's design facilitates seamless integration with your existing project management tools and methodologies.

Tailored for Agile methodologies, this template supports iterative development and continuous feedback loops. It allows for flexibility and adaptability, essential for dynamic business environments. The inclusion of user story estimation ensures that all project requirements are accurately captured and prioritized, enhancing the overall project delivery and stakeholder satisfaction.
