Storyboard: Move from Chaos to a Realistic Data Management Strategy

Author(s): Shari Lava, Amy Kunz

Our apologies, there are no quick fixes to a chaotic data architecture.

While the journey to optimization is longer than any one project, there are tactics that can be employed now to move towards control:

  • Map the architecture
  • Standardize processes
  • Document processes
  • Create a data dictionary

Understanding data architecture is also an important aspect of getting it under control. Decide on a data architecture model to work towards, and in the meantime, tack data integration projects on to other business projects related to integration.
