Skills Workshop | Building a Data Model for a Business Intelligence Project
Overview and Purpose:
Business intelligence (BI) provides management teams with data that allows them to make better decisions with actionable information intelligence. Whether assessing changes to business operations or underpinning strategy development factual, well formatted data, business analysis plays a key role in the assessment and review of the strategic, process, data modelling, and transition requirements for any BI initiative. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce key terms, methods, concepts, tools and techniques a business analyst can leverage while working on a BI project.
Goals:
There are five (5) objectives that the workshop is designed to achieve, including:
- Understand the difference between facts and data dimensions.
- Learn about data profiles and how they are used to inform data insight activities that influence a data model’s design.
- Develop a lexicon about business intelligence cubes, facts and dimensions.
- Model logical data requirements using a multidimensional approach that feeds the physical BI development under the Unified Modelling Language (UML).
- Understand when to leverage and how to take action with outside open data source information not found within an enterprise and how this information can augment existing enterprise facts.
