The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: governance, data quality, integration, lifecycle management, compliance, stakeholder engagement, and technical architecture. Practitioners use it to evaluate current capabilities, identify improvement opportunities, and track progress over time. Example questions include: 'Is there a documented process for resolving conflicting product data across systems?', 'Are data quality rules formally approved by business owners?', and 'Is there a mechanism to validate supplier data against external sources prior to onboarding?'
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for data governance charter, stewardship RACI matrix, data quality rule log, master data onboarding checklist, validation test plan, compliance evidence tracker, KPI dashboard, rollout work plan, policy approval form, and audit readiness checklist. These are designed to be adapted for use in real projects and support consistent implementation.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment, a 30-day rollout plan with milestones, and a data governance charter.
