How do you bring data stakeholders together across your organization?

Question 1

We don’t have an established way of bringing data stakeholders together. Data stakeholders operate in silos.

We rely on informal chats or individual relationships.

We sometimes run syncs or working sessions for key initiatives.

We have a community of practice or recurring cross-functional forums.

We run a formal, cross-functional governance program with active stakeholder engagement and decision-making authority.

Question 1 Hidden Input

What types of cross-functional data bodies exist at your org?

Question 2

None, there are no formal cross-functional data groups.

We have informal working groups or ad hoc collaborations.

We have a data governance committee or working group.

We have an integrated data governance structure with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and regular engagement across business, data, and technology teams.

Question 2 Hidden Input

Do you classify your data according to sensitivity or privacy level?

Question 3

We don’t classify data by sensitivity or privacy.

Some sensitive data is labeled manually, but not consistently.

We classify certain types of data (e.g., PII, PHI) in key systems.

We use standardized categories (e.g., public, confidential) across most data domains.

We have automated, policy-driven classification across systems, with enforcement tied to data use and access.

Question 3 Hidden Input

How do you manage the lifecycle of your data (retention, archiving, deletion)?

Question 4

We don’t have defined lifecycle policies or processes.

Some teams set their own rules, but it’s inconsistent.

We’ve defined retention policies for certain systems or sensitive data.

We have organization-wide policies, with some automation in place.

We fully automate data lifecycle management across systems, with regular reviews and policy enforcement.Question 4 Hidden Input

How do you manage privacy risk across your data ecosystem?

Question 5

We don’t actively manage or assess privacy risk.

We rely on manual controls or one-off policies in certain systems.

We’ve identified sensitive data types and apply basic access restrictions.

We track privacy risks in a structured way (e.g., risk register, data classification, periodic reviews).

We have a formal, organization-wide privacy risk management program with automation, auditability, and regular compliance checks.

Question 5 Hidden Input

How do people across your organization raise data quality concerns?

Question 6

There’s no formal process, people just flag issues as they arise.

Concerns are usually raised in meetings or chat, but it’s inconsistent.

We have a ticketing system or helpdesk process for reporting issues.

Reporting issues is part of our regular workflows or tools.

We have a structured, organization-wide process for reporting and triaging data quality concerns.

How is your organization using data quality dimensions?

Question 7

We’re not familiar with data quality dimensions.

We understand the concept but don’t measure them consistently.

We track a few dimensions manually for key datasets.

We regularly measure multiple dimensions with some automation.

We have a fully automated, organization-wide system to measure and monitor key data quality dimensions across all critical datasets, with thresholds and alerts tied to business impact.

Question 7 Hidden Input

How do you detect data quality issues?

Question 8

We don’t actively detect them.

We rely on individuals to report issues manually.

We have automated detection in place for both in-flight and at-rest data issues across key systems.

Question 8 Hidden Input

Do you track how long it takes to resolve data issues once identified?

Question 9

We don’t track resolution time at all.

It’s tracked informally by individuals or teams.

We use a ticketing system to log and close issues.

We monitor resolution trends over time to identify bottlenecks.

We track resolution metrics and actively use them to improve processes and team performance.

Question 9 Hidden Input

What are you doing to monitor and manage your data pipelines to ensure high data trust?

Question 10

We don’t actively monitor our data pipelines.

We find out about issues when data is missing or someone reports it.

We track job success/failure and basic timing metrics.

We monitor for anomalies in volume, schema, and freshness across key pipelines.

We have end-to-end observability with automated alerts, impact analysis, and trust indicators tied to pipeline performance.

Question 10 Hidden Input

How does your team use data lineage today?

Question 11

We don’t use lineage information.

Lineage is sometimes documented manually, but not consistently used.

We use partial lineage views to support audits or answer basic questions.

Lineage helps us understand downstream impact and supports change management.

We have automated, end-to-end lineage that drives auditing, impact analysis, and data trust across teams.

Question 11 Hidden Input

When a data issue is identified, how clearly is ownership assigned for resolving it?

Question 12

Ownership is often ambiguous or missing. It's usually unclear who is responsible.

Ownership is assigned manually on a case-by-case basis.

Most issues are routed to known teams, but not always consistently.

Issues are assigned to documented owners through defined processes or tooling.

Ownership is clearly defined, automatically assigned, and tracked through resolution across all key domains.

Question 12 Hidden Input

How do teams assess whether a dataset is trustworthy or ready for use?

Question 13

They use it without checking, there’s no process for trust evaluation.

They ask around or rely on tribal knowledge.

They manually inspect the data for issues (e.g. values, formatting, freshness).

They check available metadata like ownership, lineage, and last update.

They follow a standardized process or framework to evaluate trust before use.

Question 13 Hidden Input

How easy is it for business teams to find and use trusted data for their work?

Question 14

Very difficult, most people don’t know what data exists or where to find it.

Some documentation exists, but teams mostly rely on asking others.

We have a catalog or directory, but it’s incomplete or underused.

A searchable catalog is available and used by most business teams.

Discovery is fully self-serve, with clear ownership info, and usage guidance for business users.

We haven't started, AI is not part of our roadmap yet.

We’re exploring AI use cases but haven’t focused on data readiness.

We’re improving data pipelines or quality in preparation for AI projects.

We’ve begun formalizing processes to ensure data is accurate, traceable, and governed for AI use.

We’ve operationalized AI readiness with observability, governance, quality checks, and usage guardrails across key datasets.

Question 15 Hidden Input

Do you have an internal AI governance framework or council?
