The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated SQL Server Express specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the SQL Server Express Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which SQL Server Express improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:


1. What good is storing all the data in memory if you must sift through all of it, sometimes repeatedly, to find the data that the user requests?
   
   

2. What would be the level of vendor involvement required for future program changes or software upgrades for your audit case management system?
   
   

3. How does the instance aliasing tool solve your problem with stacking multiple default instances or same named instances on a single server?
   
   

4. How do you identify and extract data from all data sources and ensure the quality of the data is high and relevant?
   
   

5. Why might you choose to query a system view rather than a system stored procedure which returned the same metadata?
   
   

6. What access and identity management tools are utilized for managing end user access to the Data Warehouse?
   
   

7. Which functions will return a NULL, rather than an error message, if it cannot convert a string to a date?
   
   

8. Are you using enough processor cores and memory for node replication and optionally, data deduplication?
   
   

9. Does server instrumentation show that most time is spent in database operations for that session thread?
   
   

10. What data quality challenges will you have to address to ensure the accuracy of the target warehouse?
    
    


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:


• The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the SQL Server Express book in PDF containing 997 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...

2. Human Resource Management Plan: Are all key components of a Quality Assurance Plan present?
   
   

3. Assumption and Constraint Log: Are requirements management tracking tools and procedures in place?
   
   

4. Cost Management Plan: Have all team members been part of identifying risks?
   
   

5. Variance Analysis: Are data elements reconcilable between internal summary reports and reports forwarded to the stakeholders?
   
   

6. Activity Duration Estimates: Do you think many information technology professionals have experience writing RFPs and evaluating proposals for information technology SQL Server Express projects?
   
   

7. Risk Audit: Does your organization meet the terms of any contracts with which it is involved?
   
   

8. Scope Management Plan: Are the proposed SQL Server Express project purposes different than the previously authorized SQL Server Express project?
   
   

9. Procurement Audit: Are there performance targets on value for money obtained and cost savings?
   
   

10. Probability and Impact Assessment: Does the SQL Server Express project team have experience with the technology to be implemented?
