#ConfigurationManagement is… #Ownership!
In my previous posts I focused on #Identification, Part Re-Identification, #ProductStructures, #Trust, and #Integrity of data. But you will not be able to achieve this without having proper Ownership of the data in place.
Ownership is not that 10 high level managers need to sign off on a design. Ownership is about the #Creators and #Users of the data. A design or any other kind of dataset is not created for managers it is created for people who need to use that information to either create the next dataset or to order and build the product.
That is why Institute for Process Excellence promotes the concept of ownership through Creators and Designated Users as part of the #CM2 framework. Creators being responsible for the technical content, while the designated users are responsible for the usability of the content.
How often do users of the datasets not understand or misinterpret the content, leading to #quality issues? Probably more than you realize.
