About This Event
DESCRIPTION
Do you already know data modeling and want more? Take the Advanced Data Modelling Challenges Workshop! This two-day course will sharpen your data modeling skills by having you tackle over 20 data modeling exercises. The exercises are based on actual assignments, each containing essential data modeling tips and techniques.
This interactive workshop is for anyone who already knows modeling fundamentals and is seeking more advanced techniques. In this Masterclass, delegates will first apply a best practices approach to building and validating data models through the Data Model Scorecard™, a tool for verifying data model quality. Delegates will then focus on a collection of intermediate and advanced modeling techniques, including advanced normalization and enterprise data modeling. The final section contains guidelines used to gain consistency across data models in areas such as in abstraction and whether to star schema or snowflake.
To hear Steve Hoberman’s perspective on five adaptions needed to thrive as a data modeler, please watch the video ‘The Data Modeler of 2020‘.
