One of the biggest challenges in standing up and sustaining a data governance program is determining the true impact the program has made to the organization. When it comes to quantifying data governance success, metrics can help you establish a baseline, track your progress against goals, align expectations, and even defend change – or additional funding. But while metrics are a good start, as they are necessary to ensure alignment, relevance, and value of your data governance initiative, they are not enough to truly translate data value into business value. You MUST link progress metrics with impact metrics and align everything to key business goals.

In this tutorial, attendees will learn tips and best practices for:

  • Understanding why metrics are important and how to create them (including measurement to address specific business needs)
  • Identifying a list of example metrics to consider (including progress metrics, impact metrics, and KPIs)
  • Communicating effectively with stakeholders to maintain alignment and commitment
  • Implementing an iterative measurement process focused on creating business value
