Summary
In the rush to meet your BI project deadlines, it’s easy to skip the steps of documentation, quality assurance, and usage monitoring. So easy, in fact, that it sometimes never happens! Yet for a mission-critical BI solution, these tasks are essential.
Quality assurance reviews help foster knowledge throughout the BI competency center and across business units that co-develop universes. Such reviews also ensure a consistent design approach across developers, which ultimately provides business users with a consistent experience.
Usage monitoring and auditing provide a mechanism for scaling your deployment in a controlled way, predicting potential performance issues, and understanding which universes and reports are most relevant.
