Level: Introductory

This tutorial presents an overview of current, state of the art data management practices. Participants will learn that data management has a relatively short history but can now be described using five functions:

• Data Program Coordination
• Enterprise Data Integration
• Data Stewardship
• Data Development
• Data Support Operations

When considered under the CMM umbrella, understanding these five processes, their interactions and associated sub-processes will help organizations to better focus their efforts and lead to the development of better organizational data management capabilities.
