I just wanted to send a quick note to ask if any of the users here had an example of a Project Schedule for a BI Project. I am generally curious about rules of thumb for things like validation, testing, launch, training, etc.

Many thanks,

To add an extra twist, the data warehouse is already in place and in use. While this helps to see the functionality in-place, it does present some confusion as to what requirements are real and what are best left to the implementation level of things. Any tips?
