NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Traditional approaches to implementing data warehouses and business intelligence work from the bottom up in horizontal tiers, assembling and cleansing data sources from across the enterprise then aggregating them into a comprehensive data mart before reports can be generated. Some people are now employing an alternative approach that starts with the real outcome--a business decision--and pulls work items through the process as needed to support that decision. Decision driven business intelligence allows a more incremental approach to BI and facilitates rapid feedback to the decision makers who are the ultimate consumers of business intelligence.
