This template will help you to:

  • Build your business data catalog, an essential first step of any data governance program.
  • Document the key data assets that are to be governed, based on in-depth business unit interviews, data risk/value assessments, and a data flow diagram for the organization.
  • Record information about key data assets such as data definition, source system, possible values, data sensitivity, data steward, and usage of the data.
