DESCRIPTION

In this two-hour webinar participants 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, the developer of this program, 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. This 2 hour webinar is a perfect course that will give most PMs and BA’s everything they need to mitigate this risk and be successful in their roles. 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 (I 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?
