Non-Intrusive Governance – Agile Data Governance Attribute (2/5)

The weak maturity of data governance projects necessitates the implementation of good practices and feedback loops to constantly monitor and verify the validity of management rules on your data asset.

The following articles explain the characteristics of data governance labeled as agile:

1. Bleiben Sie so eng wie möglich an der betrieblichen Realität Ihres Unternehmens.
2. Passen Sie sich dem Kontext Ihres Unternehmens an − und nicht umgekehrt.
3. Geben Sie Ihre Datenbestände genau wieder.
4. Bringen Sie Ihre Mitarbeiter auf den gleichen Stand und binden Sie sie ein.
5. Reagieren Sie schnell auf Änderungen.

Enterprises consider that the classic approaches to Enterprise Data Management (EDM) require all parties involved to adopt a certain number of tools and procedures that can burden the processes of data discovery, thus becoming an obstacle to innovation. In a world where the variety as well as the volume of data is exploding, where new tools for data storage and processing ceaselessly pop up, a much more reasonable approach exists.

It is a means to give freedom to your collaborators to use tools more adaptable to their uses, whether it is to generate or to access datasets, of course, according to their authorized level.

This approach aims to centralize the knowledge that your collaborators have acquired from their datasets in a “data catalog.” The objective is to collect and aggregate the metadata of your created or updated datasets from your tools and storage systems. It is from these platforms, unrelated to operations, that data governance can be executed without interfering with the daily work of your collaborators.

Diese nicht-intrusive Methode der Data Governance erfordert, dass das Unternehmen schrittweise vorgeht. Experimentieren Sie mit Ihren Verwaltungsregeln für Daten und deren Metadaten und passen Sie sie schrittweise an, damit Sie eine Kuration Ihrer Datenbestände aufbauen können.
