This course presents a typical project implementation timeline and discusses design considerations for optimization and reporting needs. It teaches you how to identify benefits of model structure variations with respect to utilization of dimensional modeling techniques.

Learn how to

vary the model structure to meet your reporting requirements
use resource planning to predict cost needs based on demand
use an advanced method to define costs and attributes
manage your model data effectively
sustain, validate, and optimize your model.
