Structured analysis is a traditional systems development True
technique that is time-tested and easy to understand.
BI takes out all complexity associated with business True
processes. It also automates analytics by offering predictive analysis, computer modeling, bench marking and other methodologies.
Deliverable then need to be documented along with the True
project scope.
One of the advantage of business intelligence is allows True
employees to be more productive on their tasks.
It is not important that the proposed design be tested for True
