This course is a direct continuation to the basic Business Intelligence courses ICB005AS2A and ICB005AS2AE

NOTE: From Autumn 2023 this course starts from the semester start (not period 2) and defined as a 16-week course (can still be done in shorter time)

This is the second course of the renewed business intelligence course setup.

It is setup as 16 week non-stop e-learning approach with the strong recommendation to utilize Zoom sessions with teacher/customer as part of submitted iterations.

The two BI-courses build on a Business Intelligence Framework, stressing the importance of creating business value, valuing the strategy alignment, imposing the importance of BI-maturity understanding and suggests the need for an agile approach to BI-development life cycles.

In this second course the student runs a project in which a BI-solution based on user stories and agile development principles are created.

The architecture utilized is Power BI Desktop - Power BI Pro (cloud) - SharePoint.
Power BI pro license will be provided by Haaga-Helia.

As the course is now 16 weeks - students that have NOT passed the BI-basic can be accepted BUT then need to first gain the proper basic knowledge during first weeks.

The amount of students accepted to one implementation is restricted by the amount of HH Power BI pro licenses available (25)
