 taversity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=144&proposalid=12554\nWith changes in s
 oftware development methodologies, the role of the data modeler has changed
  significantly. In many organizations, data modelers now find themselves on
  the outside looking in, relegated to documentation “after the fact&r
 dquo; rather than active participation in database design where the true va
 lue is added. Some organizations using Agile practices have incorrectly dis
 missed the importance of data modeling, often with disastrous results.\nRon
  Huizenga will discuss how to adopt a lean data modeling approach that is c
 ompatible with agile and all other methodologies. This session also feature
 s a case study in which Data Modeling was introduced partway through a majo
 r initiative that would have failed otherwise, highlighting metrics that il
 lustrate the contrast when utilizing a lean approach and skilled data model
 ers versus a development-only approach.\n
