The Six Core Areas of the DGPO Data Governance Framework

If you are just starting a data governance program, you are steadily growing and maturing one, or you are re-starting the efforts again for the nth time, the Data Governance Professionals Organization (DGPO) is here to help.

In supporting our vision, we have established a formal framework to be the primary, authoritative resource for data governance practices. This framework, the DGPO CAP (Core Areas of Practice), unofficially referred to as the DGPO Hexy and sometimes referred to affectionately as the "Sexy Hexy" (because we know that being a data governance professional is really the sexiest job around - no offense data scientists), represents the six core areas of practice and is the foundation for all the content and best practices the DGPO will continue to share going forward.

Join us as we discuss these six practices and how they are core to all data governance programs regardless of industry, size, or maturity. What you will learn:

1. Fundamentals - The foundational elements necessary for any data governance program.
2. Organization - Organizational considerations for data governance, both within and external to the data governance program.
3. Communication - Marketing the purpose (and general existence) of your data governance program, sharing wins and payback, and providing regular status reports. It also covers training and development and change management.
4. Process - From documenting parameter-establishing guidelines to the detailed steps of tactical execution, the process area of practice covers the "Why, What, and How" of data governance.
5. Metrics - Metrics and measures necessary for continual improvement across the business and for communicating where the business has been, where it is now, and where it is headed.
6. Stewardship - From business to technical stewards and even data custodians, this practice area helps to define who they are and what they do.
