5 Reasons to Attend this Masterclass + a 5-Minute Video Introduction:

Steve has trained more than 10,000 people in data modeling since 1992
Entertaining and interactive teaching style (watch out for flying candy!)
His Data Modeling Masterclass is recognized as the most comprehensive data modeling course in the industry
Steve wrote 9 books on data modeling, including the bestseller Data Modeling Made Simple - you get 3 of them, plus superb course notes
His Data Model Scorecard technique is now the industry standard for assessing the quality of data model

Learning Objectives

This Master Class is a complete data modelling course, containing three days of practical techniques for producing conceptual, logical, and physical relational and dimensional and NoSQL data models.

After learning the styles and steps in capturing and modeling requirements, you will apply a best practices approach to building and validating data models through the Data Model Scorecard®. You will know not just how to build a data model, but how to build a data model well.

Two case studies and many exercises reinforce the material and will enable you to apply these techniques in your current projects.

Top 10 Objectives:

Explain data modeling components and identify them on your projects by following a question-driven approach
Demonstrate reading a data model of any size and complexity with the same confidence as reading a book
Validate any data model with key “settings” (scope, abstraction, timeframe, function, and format) as well as through the Data Model Scorecard®
Apply requirements elicitation techniques including interviewing, artifact analysis, prototyping, and job shadowing
Build relational and dimensional conceptual and logical data models, and know the tradeoffs on the physical side for both RDBMS and NoSQL solutions
Practice finding structural soundness issues and standards violations
Recognize when to use abstraction and where patterns and industry data models can give us a great head start
Use a series of templates for capturing and validating requirements, and for data profiling
Evaluate definitions for clarity, completeness, and correctness
Leverage the Data Vault and enterprise data model for a successful enterprise architecture

Prerequisites:

This course assumes no prior data modeling knowledge and, therefore, there are no prerequisites. This course is designed for anyone with one or more of these terms in their job title: "data", "analyst", "architect", "developer", "database", and "modeler".
