    Not just the Data Warehouse DBA, even ETL developer, data warehouse developer is totally different from traditional DBA and developer.

    Yes I'd agree - however development in Business Intelligence projects (DWH, BI, ETL etc.) benefits hugely from iterative approaches and RAD style techniques that are preety much proven in 'traditional' development technologies. There are different challenges to adopting these techniques and it's a work in progress with many practitioners (our company being one of them) as to how to adopt iterative and agile approaches.

    (apology for going off-topic and thread hi-jacking!) 😉
