Essentials of Data Management: Mastering the DAMA DMBOK Framework

Introduction:

Data management is a critical discipline that encompasses the processes, policies, technologies, and strategies for effectively managing an organization's data assets throughout its lifecycle. With the increasing volume and complexity of data in today's digital age, it has become crucial for businesses to establish robust data management practices to ensure data quality, integrity, security, and accessibility. The Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK) framework, developed by DAMA, provides a comprehensive guide that outlines the fundamental principles, concepts, and best practices for data management. This framework is a valuable resource for organizations and professionals seeking to enhance their data management capabilities and harness the power of data to drive informed decision-making and achieve strategic objectives. By adopting the DMBOK framework, organizations can establish a solid foundation for effective data governance, integration, quality management, and other essential aspects of data management.
