Abstract
Organizations make substantial investments in projects. Of course, the more effective the projects, the sooner they realize business results. Historically, many projects have concentrated their efforts on people, processes, and technology. Many, however, fail to fully address the data and information aspects of their efforts.
Information quality and governance can make or break projects where data is migrated and integrated. Including them can help a project stay on time and within budget or break the project by increasing project costs and timelines due to poor quality data and lack of good decisions. The team should also look ahead during the project and lay a foundation where data quality and governance continue to be managed once in production.
Topics include:
· Information quality and data governance activities throughout the SDLC (solution development life cycle)
· Continuing data governance and quality in production
· Real-life best practices and lessons
Come prepared to share your project challenges, interact with your fellow attendees through fun group exercises, and learn proven methods for increasing your project success through data quality and governance.
Bring your questions, comments, or insights about the topic. This is an important subject and we want to encourage conversations and action to help all of us make projects and their intended business results more successful.
