I'm struggling to figure out what you mean by number 4. Isn't the result of that exercise proof that the Kimball approach is a worthwhile one?

- iblaine 5y agoWe evolved our guidelines for data modeling to something that closely resembles Kimball, but it's not Kimball. Some of our ETLs were created by people that were not familiar with Kimball. We went about defining new data modeling guidelines, taking the good parts out of this work, eliminating the bad parts, and many of the good parts share a lot in common with Kimball.
