| 10/18 | IFSC | Danette McGilvray | Organizations make substantial investments in software projects that design, create, and deploy software to support the business. Many projects concentrate on people, process, and technology. Unfortunately, projects often fail to fully address the data and information aspects of their efforts. This oversight has caused many projects to fail or produce less than acceptable results, leaving data quality issues that put long-term burdens on business processes and subsequent projects. The quality of data can make the difference between a smooth transition and the ability of business to continue or a rocky conversion and the inability to conduct even basic business activities. The speed and success of projects can be increased by making data quality activities an integral part of any SDLC – the solution/software/systems development lifecycle (Agile, sequential, hybrid, etc.).Recording Link:https://us-lti.bbcollab.com/recording/e36b75f5f0774de0b20a5ceb7181393d | Pierce | |
