Minimum Viable Data Governance: Rethinking Data Governance With Agility
How can organizations tackle data governance challenges without getting bogged down by complexity and overhead? Data governance is essential for ensuring data accuracy, security and compliance while enabling better decision-making. Yet traditional approaches can often feel overly complex and burdensome. In this on-demand webinar, CDW data experts introduce a lighter, more agile alternative designed to deliver value without the hassle through the concept of Minimum Viable Data Governance (MVDG).
MVDG is a streamlined strategy to kick-start data governance using existing tools and minimal upfront investment. The concept of MVDG is highlighted as a pragmatic approach that balances control with flexibility. This methodology focuses on delivering value early through foundational practices and integrating seamlessly with platforms like Snowflake and Databricks, which already offer built-in quality and security capabilities. Attendees also discover practical tips for tailoring data governance strategies to their organization’s specific needs, considering team size, data volume and business goals.
Key takeaways include:
- Why MVDG? MVDG minimizes upfront effort, helping businesses establish critical governance, security and data quality measures early. It’s designed to scale efficiently as the organization grows.
- Foundations for Success: Governance thrives on collaboration and continuous improvement. Early involvement of business stakeholders and stewards and alignment between leadership roles like the CDO and CISO ensures a durable framework.
- Data Quality First: Poor data quality significantly hampers artificial intelligence initiatives. The webinar underscores the importance of starting with high-quality data through profiling and rule creation, and ensuring a shared vocabulary within the team.
- Choosing the Right Tools: While MVDG works well with small teams and existing platforms, larger systems with massive data volumes may require third-party tools for enhanced functionality and scalability.
With practical examples, this webinar equips you with actionable strategies to optimize your data governance efforts without the traditional overhead.
