IBCS automates visualization in agile business intelligence
IBCS – International Business Communication Standards
Using a consistent report notation increases the speed of analysis and the accuracy of decisions.
Agile methodology has been manifested more than 20 years ago. Its essence was “uncovering better ways of developing software”.
As we see the application of it, customer and the developer team walk together through the development process and fine-tune the requirements along the way. The approach brings some recursive works. So, automation possibilities are put into action, like development automation, or test automation.
Raphael Branger and Severin Leuenberger bring up a new topic of visualization automation with IBCS mindset on their new book: "How to succeed with your Agile BI project".
You may hear it directly from Raphael through the video clip we prepared from his presentation at the IBCS Annual Conference 2022 in Berlin:
"[...] visualization automation as well speeds up simply the development process of your charts and tables."
"IBCS provides us with a standard which enables the automation. And there are even more advantages: it reduces the amount of time we need to discuss with business stakeholders. We do not ask them about how to visualize charts and tables - it is just there."
With the help of IBCS Standards, you do not need to discuss the data visualization for every KPI on a report or dashboard which means you have more time for focusing on content and interpretation. Isn't that smart?
How do you benefit from IBCS Standards to speed-up your Business Intelligence processes?
