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

We’ve all heard that setting priorities in our personal lives is key to achieving our goals.

Some of us hire personal coaches to get our lives in order, but when it comes to what we do within the office, all that planning goes out the window.

Organizations today are running at a much faster pace than ever before. We have technology glued to us at all times so that we can quickly respond to things.

But should we really?

This month we will talk about the benefits of prioritizing our days both at home and at work. We understand that you don’t always have control over the priorities that may be set for you in the office, but we will discuss some strategies and approaches to gaining clarity of purpose when your supervisor says something is urgent or if you are feeling like you have too many projects on your plate.

In the last session, we asked the attendees to submit relevant scenarios to discuss with our panel of experts. During our practice session, Diane & Brenda will share these experiences and strategies to help you get your time in control.

• Has your organization or quality management team gone through the effort of adopting the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) strategy for making improvements to various processes?
• Do you think the process has been effective?
• Have you personally experienced or observed others changing their practices due to findings of the PDCA program in place?
• Are people really learning anything new, applying lessons learned during retrospectives on their next endeavour?

In this session  Karen Chovan will dive into what it really takes for an organization, or even a department within, to make true gains from the PDCA process.

Leading organizations, or those referred to as “High-Velocity” in the book The High-Velocity Edge: How Market Leaders Leverage Operational Excellence to Beat the Competition  have been found to demonstrate key characteristics and capabilities, all of which revolve around the philosophy behind PDCA.

However, as you’ll see, their practices are much more holistic than just utilizing a set of tools and analysis methods to monitor performance and correct issues, as has been applied in most situations.

These lessons will be shared with the primary objective of showing their significance in how programs and projects can clearly gain from a culture shift and full adoption of such strategies, with some highlights to relevant Lean-based tools that can be utilized to engage personnel, and facilitate some of the changes required.
