Abstract

Business Intelligence (BI) is one of the most relevant practical applications of data analysis techniques and artificial intelligence algorithms, which seeks to exploit in favor of an organization the asset that represents its internal historical data and / or external. BI projects seek to apply these technologies to the organization to obtain a benefit. However, the results of these projects depend greatly on organizational maturity. The existing BI maturity models offer different views of the organization, with different levels of detail, establishing a difficulty in guiding the development of a BI project. This work aims to establish a life cycle of a BI project that is aligned with the BI maturity of an organization, so that the phases, activities and tasks of this type of project are related to those indicated by the maturity model used. After a process of selecting a BI maturity model to be used for each phase, a life cycle is proposed for a BI project, generating process assets for the phases and activities of the same. In particular, given the scale that represents the life cycle of a BI project, this work is limited to presenting details of this guide for the first phase of the defined life cycle, called Preliminary Analysis. Currently, this model of the life cycle of a BI project is being applied to a real case, after which data will be obtained to objectively evaluate its degree of completeness and practical utility in the development of this type of projects.
