Operational Impact
The implementation of a data catalog and a gamification plan has significantly improved data discoverability and governance at Brainly. The gamification plan, in particular, has created a friendly competition among teams and raised awareness about the importance of data governance. The company has also learned the importance of clear ownership in successful data governance. Wherever the ownership of data was clear, teams were more engaged and willing to document and share their data assets. However, in areas where ownership was unclear, the documentation remained poor. This has highlighted the need for establishing clear roles and responsibilities for data ownership and access within the organization. As Brainly continues its migration to Snowflake, it plans to further improve its data governance and ensure that teams can easily access and share data across the organization. | |
