I am a big advocate of using technology to solve critical , difficult and heavyweight business problems.I also believe that technology solutions are only as good as the people who implement it and the processes used. This creates a very fine balance between what technology can do and what we can do using technology.

In this talk I want to share my experiences in  trying to bring goodness of speed, reliability and agility  of  - "App dev" practices to the hitherto unknown/complex/complicated world of traditional Data Warehouse .I will reflect upon how I approached and implemented some of the 'normal" functions such as automated testing, continuous integration ,vertical slicing of user stories, sprint planning on a data warehouse project.At the same time I will also agonize over  how I was a complete misfit in data warehouse teams due to my background, recommendations, approaches and insistence on doing things in a vastly different way from what had been practiced so far.
