What is Data Governance?

Understand what problems a Data Governance program is intended to solve and why the Business Users must own it. Also learn some sample roles that each group might need to play.

"IT doesn't have enough context to fix the data, and the business users believe it's an 'IT issue.'" Spot on.

One of the best data governance videos I have seen.

this is one enormous analogy, just define it and get to the point my goodness

Intricity101 One of your key sentences and proofs was stated vaguely: that Business should own data governance because business knows how the data should look.
*What does “look” mean there?*
This reflects a problem I had with business: because they could work with and understand only one worksheet at a time (and for their purposes, that was how it should look when presented to them), they wanted an entire database stored on a single worksheet.
So knowing how it should look to Business doesn’t necessarily say anything about how the data is handled before they see it. But I suspect that that is not what you meant.

Can I take Data governance foundation course in Informatica as a layman?

Who is/are IT exactly? Database Team, Database Admin, Data Engineer?

Does e.g. Business Intelligence Team belong to IT as well?

Most useful definition - “data governance is the
stuff you have to do so our system doesn’t fail.”

when data is considered to be a valuable asset in the organisation, data governance becomes obvious. data governance is a more cultural thing, it is related to the ways of working and business processes than to technology and IT.
