Data Governance or Data Quality in an Agile Environment

As we all know, data is a new fuel, and we also know we will not use bad-grade fuel in our machines. Similarly, clean data is very critical to any organization and bad data should not be consumed. In fact, the life of the data is more than the life of the fuel; fuel can be consumed once and we should not be recycling the same fuel that was consumed for any other purpose as it can damage the machine. Data, on the other hand, can be re-consumed many times for a different purpose.

It is also an essential component of good customer service, with few organizations managing to offer a differentiated service without good data quality.
