Course Description

Steve has developed a unique, question based approach to data modelling. This empowers the data modeller with the right approach to gather all the necessary information from stakeholders to ensure the model depicts business requirements precisely, and demonstrates that all parties understand.

Firstly, a model is introduced as a simple picture of something complex, a communication tool and a pathway.

The Data Model Settings (Scope, Abstraction, Time frame, Function, and Format) are illustrated using a camera metaphor. Five strategic questions are provided to ask business users so that the correct settings are chosen and all see the correct picture.

Data Modelling Components are identified by asking questions, Entities and Attributes by the Why? What? When? Where? Who? How? set of questions, and Steve has provided six strategic questions to correctly position Relationships.

Finally, you learn how to assess your models, and to make better models using the Data Model Scorecard ®, which has 10 weighted criteria, is objective, and supports all types of models.
