Abstract

In both, bus of data marts and agile data warehouse development, it is required to select the next product part to be developed. Whereas this issue is not addressed in the former, agile development approaches leave selection from a backlog to the product owner. We provide an approach to backlog selection that is rooted in the decision-making process. Our task is to first select a decision from a backlog of decisions and then select from the backlog of information relevant to it. Three yardsticks are considered for decision selection, business importance, decision structure and picking complete decisions in preference to partial decisions. The backlog of information for a selected decision may be for the Intelligence or Choice phases of the decision-making process.
