But doing it well is far from easy: Less than one-fourth of business leaders say their organizations are data-driven. In Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up, you’ll build a cross-functional strategy to create roadmaps and stewardship for data-focused projects, embed data governance into your engineering practice, and put processes in place to monitor data after deployment. In the last decade, the amount of data people produced grew 3,000 percent. Most organizations lack the strategy to clean, collect, organize, and automate data for production-ready projects. Without effective data governance, most businesses will keep failing to gain value from the mountain of data that’s available to them. There’s a plethora of content intended to help DataOps and DevOps teams reach production, but 90 percent of projects trained with big data fail to reach production because they lack governance. This book shares six steps you can take to build a data governance strategy from scratch. You’ll find a data framework, pull together a team of data stewards, build a data governance team, define your roadmap, weave data governance into your development process, and monitor your data in production. Whether you’re a chief data officer or individual contributor, this book will show you how to manage up, get the buy-in you need to build data governance, find the right colleagues to co-create data governance, and keep them engaged for the long haul. * Book description: © Pragmatic Programmers: https://pragprog.com/titles/lmmlops/designing-data-governance-from-the-ground-up The interview is based on the book " Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up": https://amzn.to/3QhIlnV TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:40 Getting started with data governance 10:35 Data stewards & governance driven-development 23:34 Anti-patterns & failure modes 30:36 Evolving role of data product managers 38:08 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Lauren Maffeo • Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up • https://amzn.to/3QhIlnV Katharine Jarmul • Practical Data Privacy • https://amzn.to/46XPrns Katharine Jarmul & Jacqueline Kazil • Data Wrangling with Python • https://amzn.to/49lzB7E Yehonathan Sharvit • Data-Oriented Programming • https://amzn.to/3FvrOGF Zhamak Dehghani • Data Mesh • https://amzn.to/3tTCwAC Eberhard Wolff & Hanna Prinz • Service Mesh • https://leanpub.com/service-mesh-primer Piethein Strengholt • Data Management at Scale • https://amzn.to/3tya08H Martin Kleppmann • Designing Data-Intensive Applications • https://amzn.to/3mk2Roj https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #DataGovernance #DataDriven #DataDrivenCulture #DataOps #DevOps #Data #GovernanceTeam #Governance #ChiefDataOfficer #CDO #LaurenMaffeo #SamiaRahman #SoftwareEngineering #BookClub CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
