Data governance success relies upon a strategy and roadmap that improves data and delivers business value. A successful data governance strategy identifies an agenda, engages with team members, and prioritizes activities focused on fixing problems to streamline and simplify data usage. This task-aligned class reviews the key components and identifies the key tasks and activities that go into building a data governance roadmap.
Building a sustainable data governance program can be challenging. Although data should be easy to access and use, the sheer size of our companies, the quantity of systems, and the number of users makes establishing standards, defining rules, and managing it all seem overwhelming. The focus of data governance should be improving data access and usage.
Data governance initiatives typically begin with lots of interest and enthusiasm but often struggle with ongoing commitment, consistent participation, and value. It can be difficult to develop a data governance program from scratch. What are the right tasks and activities? How do you identify and prioritize goals? Building a sustainable data governance program requires building a roadmap that focuses on user-valued success criteria. Data governance needs to “fix stuff” and improve data access and usage.
Join this fast-paced, task-aligned class and learn how to identify data-oriented business problems, classify cross-functional impact issues, and build your business-aligned roadmap. Evan Levy will show you how to identify and prioritize program goals and objectives and establish a process that delivers data governance success.
