Abstract
A system and method for planning, developing and implementing data warehouse solutions. A methodology including a plurality of tasks associated with the design and implementation of a data warehouse solution is represented by a visual model that identifies relationships between the tasks, and includes links between the tasks and content contained within a methodology database. The visual model is displayed within a visual modeling program, and can be customized for a particular data warehouse engagement through the selection of tasks displayed in the visual model for inclusion in the particular data warehouse engagement. Additionally, a customized methodology plan, statement of work, and project methodology guide for a particular data warehouse engagement can be automatically generated from content extracted from the visual model and methodology database.
