TuePM4: Driving Development Projects with Enterprise Data Models

Join this session to see how data fits in real-world enterprise development projects. We’ll answer such questions as "Who does what?" "Why are we doing this?" "Will it slow things down?” “Will it work with agile development?” "Will I have to actually talk to a data architect?" “What about the Cloud?” "What are the biggest mistakes teams make?" and "Will I still have a job?"

The session will feature demos of common data modeling-to-database processes, including reverse engineering, forward engineering, generating DDL, alter scripts, and more. You will leave with 10 tips for making model-driven database development successful in your organization's culture and environment.
