Abstract
Data quality management (DQM) serves the objective of continuously improving the quality of data relevant to an organisation, program or project[1]. It is important to understand that the goal DQM is not about simply improving data quality in the interest of having high-quality data, but rather to achieve desired outcomes that rely on high-quality data[2].
Data quality has a significant impact on both the efficiency and effectiveness of organisations [3]. As part of the digital transformation, data has become more readily available and more important than ever before. Organisations are performing data analytics to leverage key resources and optimise processes to gain a competitive advantage. As such, data is becomingly increasingly valuable to project and program managers who are driving decision making based on data insight. However, if the data quality is poor, managers risk taking misguided decisions based on unreliable data. It is therefore imperative that a proper data quality management system is in place to ensure decisions are being driven based on high-quality data. This article explores the fundamentals behind DQM using references to industry best practices and ISO 8000-1 and ISO 9000-1 guidelines.
Overview
DQM can be considered one of many building blocks to establishing a successful data governance program [4].
