Iterative Governance – Agile Data Governance Attribute (5/5)

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. Seien Sie so nah 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. Vereinheitlichen Sie Ihre Mitarbeiter und binden Sie sie ein.
5. Reagieren Sie schnell auf Änderungen.

The implementation of data governance must not take the form of a five-year plan where deliverables hardly see the day. It must avoid the Big Bang effect and adopt an approach influenced by “agile” methods used in the software development sector.

The enterprise must adopt an iterative approach to the implementation of data governance.

This approach rests on the concept of validity verification, experimentation, and iterative design.

Wir sind der Meinung, dass ein Data Governance-Projekt mit der funktionsübergreifenden Kuratierung von Datenbeständen beginnen muss. Sammeln, dokumentieren und verwalten Sie nach dem Pareto-Prinzip die 20 % der Daten, die 80 % des Geschäftswerts in Ihrem Unternehmen generieren werden.

By gradually increasing its reach across your different data segments, by redefining the roles and responsibilities within your organization, and the rules of data management, you will begin to seek a satisfying governance.

This flexibility also encourages the emergence of a strong data culture within your organization.
