Dear
This is not an easy question: this is asking people to write down all our work experiances. Which, to be honest, would be a great idea.

Perfect! great tip
Your question satisfies my gut feel of: “the shorter the question, the more elaborate a good answer needs to be” :-)
Clarity is key, only optimise if required. A clear implementation doesn't waste anyone's time when they try to understand what is going on. It is better to be consistently “wrong” than have different approaches scattered around.
Don't be afraid to process the same data twice if you have differing groups of users with different requirements. It is easier to have and maintain FACT_Orders_Sales and FACT_Orders_Finance than deal with conflicting requirements and develop yourself into a corner.
There's probably a million other things, but I am too young to be writing my memoirs yet...
