Overview Few formal discussions concerning the development of data warehouses mention the organizational dynamics that can hinder or destroy such projects.

Though this warehouse project has been successful, the road to success would have been greatly eased had potentially negative organizational dynamics been identified early in the project. These organizational issues included the relationships between the major groups involved in the project: the data custodians at the four semi-autonomous campuses who are responsible for the data in the legacy systems.
