Project management tasks
To develop a data warehouse solution using BG Pack for Financial Services, scope the vocabulary components and the data model components on a project basis. Optionally, you can customize the components. In addition, complete model management tasks, such as propagating, versioning or harvesting. Each development task includes scoping, customization and the model management tasks of a particular component. You can decide to use all BG Pack for Financial Services components or only some of them. In the latter case, you need an equivalent input work product to complete your development activities. The BG Pack for Financial Services components can be seen as templates to be used as a starting point for creating a data warehouse solution.
About this task
- The project manager sets up the project. If this is a BI project, the business analyst uses the analytical requirements as an entry point to scope and optionally customize the existing analytical requirements and business terms. For some projects, the business analyst starts directly with the development of the business terms.
- When the business analyst has defined the business requirements by using the analytical requirements and the business terms, the data modeler scopes and optionally develops the data models for the data warehouse solution by using the analytical requirements and business terms that are developed by the business analyst. The data modeler also maintains traceability between the data models and the analytical requirements and business terms.

These topics provide step-by-step instructions for using BG Pack for Financial Services components to develop a data warehouse solution. While the approach defined in this method is top down, it is recognized that the development or extension of a BI environment is an iterative process, and not a waterfall mechanism.
