Governance & Updates
This section outlines the processes for maintaining products, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and continued improvement. Clear governance ensures that products remain a valuable and trusted resource for everyone.
Change Log
Version Control: Maintain a detailed change log for each data product. This log should document all updates, revisions, and additions made to the product. This provides transparency and allows both your team members and users of the data products to quickly see what has changed and when.
Process for Proposing Updates
Continuous Improvement: Establish a clear and accessible process for all team members to suggest amendments or improvements to existing data products, or to propose new data products.
Maintainers/Owners
Accountability: Clearly identify the individuals or specific team responsible for the ongoing maintenance, regular review, and ultimate ownership of each data product. This ensures accountability and a dedicated resource for questions and updates.
