Our Data Governance Processes

Platformable’s Data Governance Processes

For community-based organizations, managing data means having good data governance processes in place across the data journey (from collection, to cleaning and preparing data, to analysis and visualization, to reporting and reuse)

Platformable’s Data Governance Toolkit helps community organizations to build all core components needed to operate a best practice data governance system. This can be applied at the whole agency level, or done for each program
