I couldn't agree more that quality objectives should be captured up front as part of any business or IT project. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately, the quality of the information is the determinant of the overall success of the solution. If you have a fast process producing crud, you are just producing crud faster.<BR/><BR/>While it is nice to see "Data Quality" being included in job listings for Business Analysts, it is of little use to the business if there are little/no tools or supports or backing for the necessary actions to ensure quality is built in. <BR/><BR/>But, and this is my personal experience, by starting from the ground up and, where necessary, looking outside the organisation for affirmation and support (such as to organisations like the IAIDQ and the network of peers there) you can do a pretty good 'Magyver' approach that gets you some quick wins and will (eventually) win you proper supports.<BR/><BR/>[disclosure: I'm Director of Publicity of the IAIDQ, but got to that role by joining up to find a community of like minded people because I was building a Data Quality initiative from the ground up.]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02677491817680123620noreply@blogger.com
