Agile Data Warehouse Design & Dimensional Modeling
2 - 4 November 2020
Netherlands
A 3-day dimensional modelling course presented internationally by leading data warehousing expert and author Lawrence Corr, covering the latest agile techniques for systematically gathering Business Intelligence (BI) requirements and designing effective DW/BI systems.
The course contrasts agile and non-agile DW/BI development and highlights the inherent failings of traditional BI requirements analysis and data modeling. Via class room sessions and team exercises attendees will discover how modelstorming (modeling + brainstorming) data requirements directly with BI stakeholders overcomes these limitations.
The course teaches BEAM (Business Event Analysis & Modeling), an agile approach to dimensional modeling, for improving communication between data designers, BI stakeholders and the whole DW/BI development team. BEAM provides tools and techniques that will encourage designers and developers to set aside their keyboards and entity relationship based tools and model interactively with their business stakeholders and colleagues. The result is everyone thinks dimensionally from the initial high level data requirements right down to detailed datasets. Developers understand how to efficiently implement dimensional modeling solutions. Business stakeholders feel ownership of the models they co-create and can already imagine how they will use them to answer their business questions.
