An effective data governance program requires the right team. You’ll need a multidisciplinary group consisting of both business and IT subject matter experts (SMEs). A strong business steward should possess both IT knowledge as well as understanding of its implications on organizational business processes and decisions. Experienced business analysts who act as communication bridges between IT and business often make great business stewards; IT stewards typically possess profound expertise with business systems and technologies.
Data governance programs can be extremely complex. They involve many stakeholders from IT professionals to data stewards and subject matter experts with differing opinions about what should be done. To avoid being bogged down in details, it’s essential that an initiative have both a clear vision and business case to guide their implementation; with one highlighting broad objectives while the other outlining specific opportunities to deliver value.
