A frequently overlooked aspect of data quality management is that of data model quality. We often build data models quickly, in the midst of a development project, and with the singular goal of database design. Yet the implications of those models are far-reaching and long-lasting. They affect the structure of implemented data, the ability to adapt to change, understanding of and communication about data, definition of data quality rules, and much more. In many ways, high-quality data begins with high-quality data models.
This online training course presents Steve Hoberman's Data Model Scorecard®, which provides the tools needed to measure and manage data model quality.

You will learn:
- The importance of having an objective measure of data model quality
- The categories that make up the scorecard including correctness, completeness, structural soundness, flexibility, standards, and model consistency
- How to apply the scorecard to different types of models
- Techniques to strengthen data models, including model reviews, model substitutes (screens, prototypes, sentences, spreadsheets and reports), and the use of automated tools to enforce modeling best practices and standards
- How to introduce the scorecard into a development methodology and your company culture
This course is geared towards:
- Data Modelers
- Data Analysts
- Data Architects
- Data Stewards
- Database Administrators
