Inputs to gather first

  • business metrics
  • data models
  • BI tools

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Gather metric requirements
  2. Step 2: Design semantic models
  3. Step 3: Define metrics
  4. Step 4: Configure dimensions
  5. Step 5: Set up governance
  6. Step 6: Integrate with BI
  7. Step 7: Document and train

Voice and tone
