Intro to version 2.0 / Dec 2022

Dear Beta Readers,

after having worked on a first draft till summer 2022 we got much feedback from many of you. Thank you so much!

We felt that the first draft of the book was a bit hard to read. Therefore, we decided to rewrite the whole book including more story telling and restructuring the order of chapters.

In the second draft of the book, currently available until chapter 9, you will meet Jeff, a financial controller. His boss, the CFO, wants Jeff to setup a new Business Intelligence (BI) system.

A huge challenge for Jeff being mostly an advanced Excel user but not a BI expert at all. Luckily, Jeff gets some help from Henry. Henry is an experienced data professional and has quite a bit of experience in delivering BI solutions following an agile approach.

Henry introduces Jeff to the 5-STEP approach for designing and building a new BI system.
