Module 1: Introduction to Data Governance
What is data governance?
The Data Management Body of Knowledge defines data governance as “the exercise of authority, control and shared decision-making (planning, monitoring and enforcement) over the management of data assets” (DMBOK, 2017). Put simply, data governance is about implementing a set of policies, processes, structures, roles and responsibilities to ensure that an agency’s data is managed effectively, and that it can meet both its current and future business requirements.
An effective Data Governance Framework typically covers the following best practice content:
- Strategy and Planning
- Policy
- Functions or Roles and Responsibilities
- Data Management
