The company does not have a formal methodology or process to develop the BI solution from start to finish. Take the BI Project Manager role in Steel Wheels and create a real Project Plan Proposal for Steel Wheels’ BI solution. This project plan should include the following:
- A list of activities needed (from start to finish) to create and maintain the proposed BI solution.
- This list should include all activities in the BI Project Life-Cycle.
- These activities should be listed in the order in which these should be completed based on the BI Project Life-Cycle.
- Describe the purpose of each activity and add fictitious status of the activities and dates (In-Progress/Pending/Completed Status, Date Entered and Date Planned/Actual Completion). Use the BI Project Management Tool to create your BI Project Plan.
