Episode 65 – Data Modeling

This episode closes out the mini series about data, and this time we talk about data modeling. Data models are some of the things that I have seen the least often in projects over the last two decades. Why is that? Is it because it is too geeky, or not interesting enough compared to, say, […]

Episode 64 – Data Projects: Wiebke Apitzsch

A lot of projects are just looking at processes and applications. One thing that typically does not get the limelight is the data that is needed to empower these two things. But why is that?

On a melange with the Process Wizard – Roland Woldt

Christoph Piller was our guest in Episode 53 “Subject-Oriented Process Management”, and he’s returning the favor to us again – this time I had the honor to have a coffee with him (in German, which is a nice opportunity to speak in one’s mother tongue). Here is how Christoph describes the episode: “In Episode 13 […]
