Data Governance: The Definitive Guide

I found this a fantastic introduction to data governance. The first chapter arms the reader with a good working understanding, with subsequent chapters diving deeper into various topics. The authors bring a very deep understanding of the topic, mixed with a practicality that is refreshing.Strongly recommend picking it up.

This book is only about half the governance. The authors are all from google - so no wonders here. The approach will work perfectly for them.It will describe data governance mostly for analytics.I am missing governance for operative systems like SAP, salesforce, ... The business view on data across data sources to govern the data of a company.In their data life cycle data just appears and the is processed and sotred and deleted. But what of master data that is used for several years in operative systems (with one retention policy) and regularly exported, processed and stored (with another retention policy).And europeans will miss a big part - there is no mentioning of the governance that is necessary for DSGVO. Just a general part on data protection and one on legal restrictions.

the approach and enablement of data governance has gone through a massive change in the last 20 years, surely there is a lot of catchup to do in this book. If you want a refresher then this book provides a nice reading.
