Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- The terms and language used means different things which can slow development, confuse operations, and services.
- Data alone does not always make it easy to access the “true” record of the truth.
- The idea of Data Governance is overwhelming.
Companies developing complex products containing more embedded software are dealing with increasing pressures for innovation, maturity, coordination, and time-to-market. Historically in mass production companies, the important data items are managed in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which caters to mechanical and electrical engineering for both products and their factories. Application Lifecycle Development (ALM) tools cater to software and systems engineering, mapping features to customer requirements. Development pressure fosters thinking and acting in discipline and domain silos, worsening data sharing and knowledge exchanges. More than ever, it is important that ALM and PLM cooperate. Consistency is needed in the terms and language they use for products; that is where data governance comes in. In this webinar, we will consider what drives data governance needs within a complex product development environment.
