Who's in Charge? Making Sense of Data Governance

Data governance decides who's in charge of your data, and what happens when no one is. The Data Literacy Guide to Data Governance breaks down data governance in plain language, walking through the goals, activities, and roles, like data owners and data stewards, that keep an organization's data trustworthy and consistently managed. By the end, you'll understand the difference between oversight and execution, and be ready to participate confidently in governance conversations on your own team.
