ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how the results of the preceding steps of Agile Integrated Methodology for Strategic Business Intelligence are integrated into a strategic BI roadmap. Both the IM maturity assessment and the Proof of Concepts are integral to the development of the strategic BI roadmap as both identify key areas on which the organization needs to focus and develop capabilities if it is to maximize the benefits of its investment in strategic BI. This strategic BI roadmap reflects a balanced portfolio of BI initiatives and a coherent implementation sequence, and provides a sound basis for ensuring that BI initiatives are aligned to organizational strategic priorities. The chapter highlights the importance of a strategic BI roadmap in placing the organization in a position to secure executive commitment and resources and, in so doing, putting the organization on the path to becoming a serious "Analytics Competitor".
