RITZA uses components of SAP and ASAP methodology and incorporates many of the principles and best practices recommended by experts such as Ralph Kimball and Bil.

RITZA encourages beginning with a top-down approach to requirements, one that focuses on business goals and drivers and key performance indicators (KPIs). This approach requires executive and senior management input and is more likely to encourage operational activities that are aligned to business goals. Complimenting the top-down approach with an abbreviated bottom-up approach provides a reality check without simply re-building reports that already exist.
