Purpose
This document template defines an outline structure for the clear and unambiguous definition of
analytic, reporting or informational outputs (including standard reports, ad hoc queries, Business
Intelligence outputs, analytical models etc).
It provides a self-service survey template that can be used by business users to outline and the
reporting outputs that are currently responsible for, and to document the process by which reporting is
produced.
This template forms part of an example data specification & information requirements framework. The
framework offers a set of outline principles, standards and guidelines to describe and clarify the
semantic meaning of data terms in support of an Information Requirements Management process.
(See the Framework Overview for further details.)

NOTES
The Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC) or other expert analytic personnel
should follow up with more detailed analysis of reporting and analytic processes and seek
opportunities for more consistent, sustainable, repeatable approach.
Identified reporting requirements may give rise to evaluating the methods, standards,
guidelines & protocols in use.
Consideration should be given to the type of data content to be reported, and the intended
audience for that data. (e.g. there may be additional considerations to be addressed if
releasing data to 3rd parties)
These are not fixed and main rules but that are few nice steps to work on the requirement gathering
process. Also always try to create simple and good Data model and this will help you for creating the
Charts, Reports, Dashboards and Qlikview application.
