Data Governance Questionnaire

Data governance is a set of management/technical disciplines designed to ensure that a company has the right data available at the right time and that the data is accurate and in the correct format required for the business needs.

This sample questionnaire can be used by a company to gain understanding of the business definition of specific data elements, the way those elements are used within business processes in an enterprise, the individual systems or databases that house the elements, and any business roles or transformations that occur on the data. This requires complete knowledge of all metadata to provide a full view of the lineage and proper use of key data elements.
