To achieve the improvements necessary, a series of development standards have been identified, including:
- 3-Tier data architecture that reflects best practice Data Warehousing design
- Critical Data Elements (CDEs) documented with metadata to support consistent use of university data
- Data Governance and classification practices to support data management and user access practices
This workstream focuses on building the Student Data Domain in the tertiary institution Enterprise Data Platform, and a robust Data Governance Framework for the Student Domain. Both the data architecture and data governance framework will be reusable for subsequent Data Domains. The objective is for users to have secure, quick access to easily discoverable, high quality, reusable data for analytical and reporting purposes in a stable enterprise data platform that supports scalability and agility.
The Agile Coach is responsible for leading the implementation of an agile approach to delivery of the Data Governance and Enterprise Data Platform Uplift Workstream. This will include provision of agile coaching to the Data Governance and Data Engineering teams, implementation of an iterative and incremental approach to delivery of the Workstream, identification and remediation of blockers, and focus on continuous improvement and innovation.
Key deliverables for the Agile Coach include:
- Agile transformation roadmap tailored to the Data Governance and Enterprise Data Platform Uplift Workstream.
- Agile coaching and training plans for the Data Governance and Data Engineering teams.
- Implementation of an agile approach to delivery of the Workstream, including alignment with other Workstreams.
- Recommendations for sustaining agile practices beyond the engagement period to support scalability across other Data Domains for the broader Program.
- The overarching agile roadmap for the Workstream will subsequently be scaled across other Data Domains and Workstreams.
