Part I of the project involves identifying a typical early adopter organization for a data warehouse (DWH) project. Part II consists of (a) identifying a large, early adopter organization and (b) conducting a life-cycle study of the organization's DWH to learn about challenges, lessons, and how the DWH aligned with the organization's adoption of innovations over time. The document also discusses contents and formatting of the project reports, the DWH adoption innovation curve, and how a DWH may develop at different stages of this curve.
