Our Practice for Successful Data Governance

Goals: It describe why we govern data. Without goals, governance lacks the focus needed to deliver value and align with business objectives.

Methods: It describe how we govern data by establishing policies and using guides, guardrails, and gates. These methods are key to preventing problems, intervening when needed, and enforcing rules.

Human Element in Data Governance: At the core of data governance are people. We don't govern the data directly; we govern how people interact with it. This includes a wide range of individuals such as sponsors, owners, stewards, curators, coaches, consumers, and other stakeholders.

Purpose of Processes: Processes involve a sequence of actions designed to achieve specific results, such as addressing issues, managing changes, maintaining data quality, organizing datasets, and evaluating the impact of data governance.

Technology's Role in Managing Data: Technology is integral to data management, handling tasks like data ingestion, cataloging, preparation, analysis, and pipeline management. Each technology offers specific features and functions that contribute to data governance.

Cultural Norms for Integration: The establishment of cultural norms helps create an environment where data governance, agile projects, and self-service data analysis and reporting can work in unison without any conflicts.
