Data Governance for Process Systems
Process automation depends on shared data definitions. Governance makes those definitions and responsibilities visible.
Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.
Data owners and stewards
Ownership identifies who can approve definitions and resolve conflicts; stewardship supports day-to-day quality.
Access and purpose
People and systems should access the data required for their process roles, with sensitive information controlled appropriately.
Change coordination
A field renamed in one application can break workflow, analytics and integration downstream. Governed change reduces surprises.
