CDMP6: Data Modeling and Design

This course examines the principles and practices of data modeling and design as outlined in the DAMA DMBOK2 Revised Edition (DMBOK2/RE). Participants will learn how to represent and structure data for both business clarity and technical implementation, exploring modeling techniques, frameworks, and best practices from conceptual through physical design. Real-world scenarios demonstrate how effective modeling practices support data quality, consistency, and alignment across diverse stakeholders. The course also provides preparation for the CDMP exam by emphasizing the central role of modeling in building a shared understanding of data across the enterprise.

Data Modeling and Design introduces the essential practices that turn data into a usable, structured asset. Learners will explore components such as entities, attributes, relationships, and identifiers, while comparing modeling approaches including relational and dimensional models. The course also examines normalization, modeling tools, and real-world examples that show how models support governance, quality, and system implementation. With guidance from the DMBOK2 Revised Edition, participants will gain both the theoretical knowledge and applied skills necessary to approach the CDMP exam with confidence.
