Business Intelligence\Report Requirements Document
Rajesh VattakunnelMaster Data Manager| NovartisArlington, Tx, United States
Does anyone have a good BI\report creation requirements gathering document that I can take a look at? I am in a project that I inherited that had no requirements from the beginning and it is a mess with project scope creep, etc... Saving Changes...

Rajesh - In my experience, I have approached BIDW project requirements gathering by starting with these 5 steps:
1. Ask the business users what are the decisions they need to make
2. What information do they need to make the best decisions
3. Put those questions into brief user stories
4. Take part of the user story and put it into a fact-qualifier matrix
5. Depending on the scope of the project and the methodology of the develop org, I may or may not generate a BRD from there

Thank you Bethany and Mark. I am going to be conducting a requirements gathering workshop and I need to create an "official" requirements document. Do you have any samples of a fully signed off requirements doc? You can delete confidential information as you like. I am looking for more of a flow and how the document needs to be laid out... Thanks again. Saving Changes...
and my personal favorite...
http://www.systemsguild.com/ you use to be able to download the requirments template for free but now it will run you about $55 - it's a REALLY good template (i have it but can no longer post)...
also attached one more template for you to choose from... Saving Changes...
