Business Intelligence

A solution for scheduling BODS jobs sequentially and conditionally is described in one of my earlier blogs in SCN  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34648  ( https://blogs.sap.com/2012/12/25/scheduling-bods-jobs-sequentially-and-conditionally /) .

KABI is a new agile software development methodology useful for achieving quicker implementation of Business Intelligence (BI) solutions. The methods defined in KABI can also be used in full or in part for any other non BI projects that share similar characteristics as BI development projects.  The word KABI is created by combining "KA" from KA nban and "BI" from B usiness I ntelligence. KABI is a lightweight, iterative, continuous feedback based agile software development methodology that enables every team member to work to their full potential even when there are several unknowns, resource constraints, dependencies and unpredictability of work load. Thereby KABI ensures optimal team productivity throughout the project duration. At the heart of KABI is " Peer Inspiration ".  Every team member plays an important role and every team member works in an exemplary way. They do their part of the job so well that it inspires the whole team. " Mutual
