The Develop Your BA Environment workflow outlines the processes that you use to set up and configure your Pentaho Server for BA development, and to build, change, and test Pentaho solutions until they meet your unique business requirements. This process is similar to the Trial Download Evaluation experience, except that you will be completely configuring the Pentaho Server and working with your own report designers and data scientists, as well as Pentaho professional services. The end result of this section is to learn BA implementation best practices and deploy your BA solution to a production server.
Before you begin developing your BA environment, we recommend that you attend Pentaho training classes to learn how to install and configure the Pentaho Server, as well as how to develop data models and applications.
