Summary

In this chapter, we walked through the steps to develop a data management strategy. The chapter began with an introduction to the data maturity review and setting the target state of the data stewardship program. We then went into the details of people, process, and technology considerations and saw how to implement a feedback loop to measure and report progress.

We also highlighted the importance of translating strategy into execution and explained the benefits of using the CDMC framework as your starter kit. The chapter concludes by discussing the importance of aligning the data roadmap with your stakeholders.

As we turn the page to the next chapter, we will delve into the symbiotic relationship between people, processes, and technology, and how these components collectively cultivate a data culture within an organization.
