Start with the problem

What is the problem you’re trying to solve with data contracts?

Is it:

• Improve the governance and control of your data?
• Reduce the amount of preventable data incidents?
• Move towards a more decentralised operational model?

And how does solving that problem help the business achieve its goals?

Does it:

• Allow you to meet the standards for certification?
• Reduce the costs of responding to incidents?
• Increase access to quality data?

Start with the problem.

Understand how solving that problem will benefit the business.

Then decide how you want to implement data contracts.
