Business Measures: what to define?

By Franco Graziosi, Component Based Solutions |  Business Intelligence, BI, business measures Add a new comment

October 09, 2009, 11:12 AM — There are so many methods, strategies, books and theories about business measures but I never found a simple (2 pages) systematic way to define a business measure so that it will be quickly understandable to anybody.

So, I decided to digest one from scattered documentation of many projects: http://www.cbsolution.net/roller/ontarget/entry/defining_business_measures

If you are involved in any BI project this short guide will probably be useful.
