Data Governance Communications Guide
Data-centric IT projects often face challenges such as missed deadlines, budget overruns, excessive management attention, and unmet business expectations. This is often due to ineffective collaboration between technical and data specialty teams. While better communication seems like the obvious solution, how do team members communicate about risks and requirements that may not be visible to them? The DGI Data Governance Communications Guide addresses these issues by highlighting “invisible” data-related risks and identifying groups responsible for managing them. It also offers questions to unveil “hidden” data-related requirements for the entire project team.
