    • About Course

      This course shows how to translate business goals into a coherent Metadata Requirements Portfolio. You will identify the metadata context and evidence the business needs, select artifacts based on demonstrated value, and map those artifacts to the Data Management capabilities that produce them. You will then trace critical dependencies, assign accountability and responsibility, establish delivery priorities, and validate the portfolio as a complete and feasible set. The course focuses on making metadata investments purposeful, connected, and manageable rather than building metadata for its own sake. 

       

      What Will You Learn?

      • Translate business goals into metadata needs.
      • Select metadata artifacts based on value.
      • Map artifacts to producing capabilities.
      • Trace dependencies across metadata artifacts.
      • Assign accountability and responsibility.
      • Prioritize and validate the metadata portfolio.

      Course Content

      Metadata Needs
      This topic explores how business priorities are translated into metadata requirements. You will examine how an approved business goal reveals the need for specific context and evidence. The topic then considers how different metadata artifacts contribute to business value. Finally, it examines how to decide which artifacts are needed and which can be reused. The aim is to establish a justified metadata scope based on real business needs.

      Metadata Capability Landscape
      This topic examines how Data Management capabilities contribute to the metadata landscape. You will explore which capabilities produce different metadata artifacts and how Metadata Management connects their outputs. The topic then investigates relationships between artifacts and the dependencies that influence their development. The aim is to establish a connected metadata landscape with clear content origins and realistic development prerequisites.

      Metadata Requirements Portfolio
      This topic brings together the metadata requirements developed in the previous topics. You will examine how to assign accountability and responsibility for selected artifacts. The topic then addresses delivery priorities and the sequence of implementation. Finally, it introduces the validation of the complete Metadata Requirements Portfolio. The aim is to establish a coherent portfolio that supports informed governance and implementation decisions.
