Son of CoE
In the new economic times the need for a BI CoE has gotten new traction. Organizations are looking to do more with less in both development and maintenance. The CoE allows organizations to have the flexibility to deploy the resources to the area with the projects (aka funding). As getting projects funded has become more difficult, the smart organizations are standing up their CoE concurrently with a BI project that has funding. This multi-workstream allows organizations to do what they need to stand up the CoE without it being a stand alone project subject to cancellation.
The CoE as a tack-on to a large project lets everyone win.
