This 2 hour webinar is a perfect course that will give most PMs and BA’s everything they need to mitigate risk and be successful in their roles.

In this two-hour webinar you will learn the essential concepts of data modeling required of today’s Business Analyst and Project Manager.

Effective requirements definition requires a fundamental understanding of data modeling.

This webinar lays a foundation of the essential aspects of defining the data model and requirements for a project. IAG believes very strongly in this key Business Analysis competency.

Every Project Manager and BA involved in requirements definition and modeling needs to know these critical concepts.

Without a solid basis of data modeling skills, there is a significant risk that quality and value of use-case, business requirement, and business rule documentation will be significantly compromised.

For someone involved or responsible for the business requirements, business architecture or business analysis on a software development project, there are large number of questions to be answered.

• Do I need to be an expert in data modeling?
  • (No, by the way)
• How detailed do I need to define the data,
• Why do I need a data model – especially if we’re working on an existing system?
• Do I need to produce a logical data model?
• Do I need to know normalization theory
  • (Hope not)?
• What do we do about data if we’re ‘Agile’?
• What about modeling or data definitions for a Business Intelligence project?
• When and how do I gather data requirements with the SME’s?
  • What’s the best way?

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the key concepts of conceptual and logical data modeling
2. Learn the steps to building a data model
3. Write clear and concise and consistent data definitions
4. Apply acceptable modeling principles
5. Use/apply consistent naming standards
