Data governance (DG) is the process of managing the availability, usability, integrity and
security of the data in enterprise systems, based on internal data standards and policies that
also control data usage. Effective data governance ensures that data is consistent and
trustworthy and doesn't get misused. It's increasingly critical as organizations face new data
privacy regulations and rely more and more on data analytics to help optimize operations
and drive business decision-making.
A well-designed data governance program typically includes a governance team, a steering
committee that acts as the governing body, and a group of data stewards. They work
together to create the standards and policies for governing data, as well as implementation
and enforcement procedures that are primarily carried out by the data stewards. Ideally,
executives and other representatives from an organization's business operations take part,
in addition to the IT and data management teams.
While data governance is a core component of an overall data management strategy,
organizations need to focus on the expected business benefits of a governance program for
it to be successful,
Data Governance problems
Without effective data governance, data inconsistencies in different systems across an organization might not get resolved. For example, customer names may be listed differently in sales, logistics and customer service systems. That could complicate data integration efforts and create data integrity issues that affect the accuracy of business intelligence (BI), enterprise reporting and analytics applications. In addition, data errors might not be identified and fixed, further affecting BI and analytics accuracy.
Data Governance programs
compliance with data privacy and protection laws, such as the European Union's GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act
(CCPA). An enterprise data governance program typically includes the development of
common data definitions and standard data formats that are applied in all business systems,
boosting data consistency for both business and compliance uses.

#DataGovernance Team:
Role: A dedicated Data Governance Team or Office is responsible for defining and enforcing data management policies, including data quality standards.
Responsibilities:
-Establishing data quality policies and procedures.
-Defining data quality metrics and benchmarks.
-Monitoring and enforcing data quality standards.
#DataStewardship Team:
Role: Data stewards are individuals or a team responsible for the management and oversight of specific sets of data.
Responsibilities:
-Ensuring data quality at the operational level.
-Resolving data quality issues and discrepancies.
-Collaborating with business units to improve data quality.
IT or Data Management Team:
Role: The IT or Data Management Team, including database administrators and data engineers, may be responsible for technical aspects of data quality.

Business Units and Data Owners:
Role: In a decentralized model, business units or data owners may have ownership of data quality for the data they generate and use.
Responsibilities:
-Defining and maintaining data quality requirements.
-Taking ownership of data quality improvement initiatives.
-Collaborating with data stewards and IT teams.
#ChiefDataOfficer (#CDO) or Chief Analytics Officer (CAO):
