Introduction and Module Material
Overview
In module 8, the focus was on implementation, you and your team planned and prepared by selecting an implementation team, creating a budget and reviewing possible solution resources. Module 9 focuses on the Ready for Interoperability stage of the Data Governance domain. The Project Governance domain combines aspects of data governance with project management.
- In this module, your district will implement a cross-departmental data governance team to support your selected use case. To accomplish this effort, your district will leverage the use case data elements, processes, and stewards you identified in Module 6.
- Your district will build upon this infrastructure and rely on stakeholders to further finalize the data processes and workflows needed for your use case.
- Additionally, your district will plan for the future by developing a protocol for new and emerging data needs related to your use case.
After completing these steps, it will be time for your district and your data stewards to finally adopt the proposed data processes and workflows on an ongoing basis to successfully address your use case.
Throughout this course, you will see four types of activities. Depending on your district’s data readiness, you may want to review and complete all suggested activities and those essential for fulfilling the micro-credential requirements. Some activities will require assistance from your technology lead, and some activities can be projected during stakeholder meetings. Look for the following icons to signal “technology lead” or “group activity.”
Micro-credential activities are essential for preparing a Data Ready Project Plan and Pitch deck. These activities can be submitted as evidence for completing a micro-credential.
IT Lead Activities require the participation of your district or organization’s IT Lead.
Group activities that are to be completed by members of your cross-departmental teams.
Suggested resources to develop your understanding of data equity and interoperability.
A folder with resources is available to download at the beginning of each module via a link in each module’s Introduction and Module Material section. Depending on your district’s data readiness, you should review and complete all essential and suggested activities.
Throughout the module, you will be prompted with IGNITE questions meant for you to pause and reflect on current practices and/or policies within your district or organization. There are also knowledge checks for your understanding of key concepts and takeaways.
