Ad hoc analysis, crucial for business intelligence, helps stakeholders make data-driven decisions by allowing fast analytics from multiple data sources, but it can lead to analyst burnout if not managed well. To alleviate the pressure on BI analysts, organizations should empower team members with self-service analytics capabilities, enabling non-data personnel to independently conduct basic analyses. Implementing a ticketing system for tracking requests can prevent delays and duplication, while training power users from various departments as "data heroes" can further distribute the workload. Additionally, creating a catalog of canned queries and a data dictionary can streamline repetitive request handling, and establishing clear procedures with senior leadership can ensure proper request prioritization and reduce the incidence of misplaced or overwhelming requests. These strategies collectively aim to reduce the volume of ad hoc requests directed at BI teams, allowing them to function more efficiently and avoid burnout.
