Data Stewardship An Actionable Guide to Effective Data Management and Data Governance

Data has become so vital to the success of almost all organizations (both large and small) that many are attempting to implement a Data Governance program. When done properly, it provides the means to manage the overall collection of data (i.e., the data asset), including the structure, processes, and organization needed to manage key data elements. A vital component of a Data Governance program is Data Stewardship. However, to understand the role that Data Stewardship plays in Data Governance, you need to understand the overall Data Governance program itself, including the purpose, deliverables, roles and responsibilities, and value that Data Governance adds to the company. You also need to understand how Data Stewardship interacts with other aspects of the Data Governance program, and what part Data Stewardship plays in the success of the program.
