76 2. What is the DAMA-DMBOK?

77
78 DAMA Internationals Data Management Body of Knowledge (DAMA-DMBOK) is a collection of
79 processes and knowledge areas that are generally accepted as best practices within the Data
80 Management discipline. Data Management is an overarching term that describes the processes
81 used to plan, specify, enable, create and acquire, maintain and use, archive and retrieve,
82 control, and purge data. These processes overlap and interact within each data management
83 knowledge area (see section 4.1)
84
85 Data Management is vital to every organization. Whether known as Data Management, Data
86 Resource Management, or Enterprise Information Management, organizations increasingly
87 recognize that the data they possess is a valuable asset. Like any valuable asset, they also
88 recognize their data assets must be managed. Businesses, governments, and other
89 organizations are more effective when they leverage their data assets. Data Management is the
90 process of effectively controlling and leveraging data assets.
91
92 Data Management is a maturing discipline. Data Management concepts and supporting
93 technology have evolved quickly over the last thirty years, and continue to evolve.
94
95 Creating a formal, certified, recognized, and respected data management discipline is not an
96 easy task. The current environment can be a confusing combination of terms, methods, tools,
97 opinion, and hype. To mature this discipline, DAMAs Data Management Body of Knowledge
98 (DMBOK) provides concepts towards the standardization of
99
100 Activities, processes, and best practices
101 Roles and responsibilities
102 Deliverables and metrics, and
103 A maturity model
104
105 Standardization will help data management professionals perform more effectively. Executives
106 in particular need to understand and assign value to data management activities, so they can
107 fully support, fund, and staff the data management function. Moreover standardization will
108 also help us communicate with our teammates, managers, and executives, and ubiquitous use
109 will harden Data Management into a formal discipline around the world.

111 3. Introduction to DAMA-DMBOK2

112 3.1. Why a Framework Outline?
113 The DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework Outline described here exists to provide the proposed
114 structure and outline of content for organizing the second edition of the Data Management
115 Body of Knowledge (DAMA-DMBOK2) document. In order to ensure the work is an accurate

April 23, 2012 2012 DAMA International All Rights Reserved 5

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

116 reflection of the profession it is essential to gain community consensus for the Framework that
117 becomes the foundation of the document.

118 3.2. History

119 The DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DAMA-DMBOK) has undergone an evolution
120 over the years. It began as the Guidelines for Implementing Data Resource Management in
121 1991. This publication was published by DAMA International in various forms through four
122 versions in collaboration with DAMA Chicago.
123
124 DAMA International published The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge
125 (DAMA-DMBOK Guide, 1st edition) in 2009. DAMA-DMBOK was in development for several
126 years as a complete overhaul of the earlier Guidelines. A Framework white paper was written
127 and floated to the data management community for comment and input, and became the basis
128 for the first publication. Full DAMA-DMBOK text development proceeded with input from
129 contributing authors, the DAMA-DMBOK editors, DAMA-DMBOK Editorial Board, and over 120
130 DAMA member reviewers.
131
132 In preparation for the 2nd edition, input on existing and proposed content has been collected
133 from DAMA chapter members and Enterprise Data World conference sessions.
134
135 The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management is now in its 2nd edition and was published in April
136 2011 containing almost 2000 terms, including terms from the DAMA Certified Data
137 Management Professional (CDMP) exams managed by the Institute for the Certification of
138 Computing Professionals (ICCP). It is aligned to the terms in the DAMA-DMBOK and is the
139 glossary for the DAMA-DMBOK.

140 3.3. Purpose

141 The 2nd edition of the DAMA-DMBOK (DAMA-DMBOK2) will continue the 1st edition philosophy
142 of offering DAMA standardization of Data Management guidelines, characteristics and active
143 practices. It will cover the WHAT, WHO and WHY of Data Management and its various
144 knowledge areas. It will be modeled after other professional organizations Bodies of
145 Knowledge (BOKs) such as PMIs PMBOK (Project Management BOK), and IEEEs SWEBOK
146 (Software Engineering BOK).
147
148 The entire body of knowledge about data management is quite large and constantly growing.
149 The DAMA-DMBOK is a guide that is intended to provide a definitive introduction that body of
150 knowledge. It presents a standard industry view of data management knowledge areas,
151 terminology, and common best practices, without going into implementation details. The
152 DAMA DMBOK Guide introduces alternative views and industry accepted approaches where
153 clear differences of opinion exist.
154
155 The DAMA-DMBOK Guide should not be read as an attempt to be a complete authority on any
156 specific data management knowledge area. Instead, it points readers to widely recognized

April 23, 2012 2012 DAMA International All Rights Reserved 6

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

157 publications, articles, and other resources for further reading on the HOW-TO methods and
158 implementation details. DAMA also encourages communities of practice discussions on the
159 topics presented.

160 3.4. Goals

161 The goals of the DAMA-DMBOK2 Guide are:
162 1. To build consensus for a generally applicable view of data management knowledge areas.
163 2. To provide standard definitions for commonly used data management knowledge areas,
164 deliverables, roles and, other terminology, in conjunction with the DAMA Dictionary of Data
165 Management and thus to move the Data Management Community towards standardization
166 on concepts and activities.
167 3. To identify guiding principles for data management.
168 4. To clarify the scope and boundaries of data management activities.
169 5. To overview commonly accepted good practices, widely adopted techniques, and significant
170 alternative approaches, without reference to specific technology vendors or their products.
171 6. To briefly identify common organizational and cultural issues.
172 7. To identify strategies for data management maturity analysis.
173 8. To guide readers to additional resources for further understanding.

174 3.5. Audience

175 The audiences for DAMA-DMBOK2 will be similar to the audiences for the 1st edition. The
176 audiences for the DAMA-DMBOK are quite varied and include:
177 Certified and aspiring data management professionals.
178 Other IT professionals working with data management professionals.
179 Business data stewards at all levels.
180 Executives with an interest in managing data as an enterprise asset.
181 Knowledge workers developing an appreciation of data as an enterprise asset.
182 Consultants conducting assessments of client data management areas and helping to
183 implement and improve data management at these clients.
184 Educators responsible for developing and delivering a data management curriculum.
185 Researchers in the field of data management.
186

187 3.6. Potential Uses

188 DAMA foresees several potential uses of the DAMA-DMBOK2 Guide, including:
189 Informing a diverse audience about the nature and importance of data management.
190 Helping build consensus within the data management community.

April 23, 2012 2012 DAMA International All Rights Reserved 7

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

191 Helping data stewards, data owners, and data professionals understand their
192 responsibilities.
193 Providing the basis for assessments of data management effectiveness and maturity.
194 Guiding efforts to implement and improve data management knowledge areas.
195 Pointing readers to additional sources of knowledge about data management.
196 Educating students, new hires, practitioners and executives on data management
197 knowledge areas
198 Guiding the development and delivery of data management curriculum content for higher
199 education.
200 Suggesting areas of further research in the field of data management.
201 Helping data management professionals prepare for Certified Data Management
202 Professional (CDMP) data exams.
203 Assisting organizations in defining their enterprise data strategy.

204 4. Proposed Framework

205 4.1. Knowledge Areas
206 In the 1st edition of the DAMA-DMBOK, Data Management was described as a function that is
207 also known as a high level business process or the name of the program. This process was
208 captured in 10 functions and associated activities.
209
210 In the DAMA-DMBOK2 we are emphasizing knowledge areas rather than functions. A
211 knowledge area is a category of specialization. It could be made up of one or more topics,
212 which will be handled in separate sections.
213
214 There are 11 knowledge areas that cover the core areas in DAMA-DMBOK2 that DAMA
215 International considers important for those performing data management. Each knowledge
216 area has many section topics logically grouping activities that are required to be performed. In
217 addition, there are supporting section topics that round out the knowledge requirements for
218 data management professionals in additional chapters.
219
220 Based on received input, the DAMA-DMBOK2 will use this revised Data Management
221 knowledge area wheel (Figure 1):
222

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

223
224 Figure 1. The DAMA-DMBOK2 Knowledge Area Wheel

225 The 11 Data Management Knowledge Areas are:

226
227 Data Governance planning, oversight, and control over data management and use of data
228 Data Architecture as an integral part of the enterprise architecture
229 Data Modeling and Design analysis, design, building, testing, deployment and
230 maintenance
231 Data Storage structured physical data assets storage management
232 Data Security ensuring privacy, confidentiality and appropriate access
233 Data Integration and Interoperability data acquisition, transformation and movement;
234 managing ETL, federation, or virtualization
235 Documents and Content storing, protecting, indexing, and enabling access to data found
236 in unstructured sources (electronic files and physical records), and making this data
237 available for integration and interoperability with structured (database) data.
238 Reference & Master Data managing gold versions and replicas
239 Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence managing analytical data processing and
240 enabling access to decision support data for reporting and analysis

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

241 Meta-data integrating, controlling and delivering meta-data

242 Data Quality defining, monitoring and improving data quality
243

244 4.2. Knowledge Area-Related Processes, Activities and Elements

245
246 DAMA-DMBOK2 expands the environmental elements (section 4.2.3).. The first edition was
247 more concerned with outlining the functions. This edition will close the loop. These elements
248 along with the context diagram and activity groups describe the data management processes
249 and activities that are involved in a knowledge area.
250

251 4.2.1. Context Diagrams

252 Each knowledge area has a context diagram that outlines and frames the scope of that areas
253 topic. The diagram format is more tailored to describing the processes in terms of inputs
254 (documents and plans), outputs (documents and products), business drivers (goals, regulations,
255 and standards), tools and techniques The roles in a context diagram will take on RACI
256 (Responsible, Approver/Accountability, Consult and Inform) responsibilities depending on
257 activities.
258
259 Goals will be reworded to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Attainable, Realistic,
260 and Timely), and matched to metrics. Regulations and Industry Standards will be moved from
261 Inputs into new categories. Metrics will be enhanced.
262
263 The Participants section is split into Responsible Roles (responsible for performing an activity)
264 and Stakeholder Roles (consulted or informed by in a Process). Primary Deliverables are
265 renamed Deliverables, as they were not listed with any contrasting Secondary Deliverables.
266
267 Finally, the level of detail on the diagrams will be kept to a very high level, consistent with an
268 overview, and consistent across knowledge areas. The text will provide more detail.
269
270 Each context diagram includes:
271
272 Definition: The definition of the Knowledge Area.
273 Goals: The goals of the Knowledge Area within this Topic.
274 Process: The list of discrete activities and sub-activities, with activity group indicators
275 (see below).
276 Regulations: Commonly required classes of government laws, regulations, reporting
277 requirements, and standards that definitely affect this Knowledge Area and Related
278 Sections.
279 Industry Standards: Commonly recognized classes of standards that should / could affect
280 this Knowledge Area and Related Sections.

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

281 Inputs: What documents or raw materials are directly necessary for a Process to initiate
282 or continue?
283 Supplier Roles: Roles and/or teams that supply the Inputs to the Process.
284 Responsible Roles: Roles and/or teams that perform the Process.
285 Stakeholder Roles: Roles and/or teams Informed or Consulted on the Process.
286 Tools: Technology types used by the Process to perform the Function.
287 Deliverables: What is directly produced by the Processes?
288 Consumer Roles: Roles and/or teams that expect and receive the Deliverables.
289 Metrics: Measurements of how to quantify the success of Processes based on the Goals
290
291 This diagram is an example of what the context diagram for a knowledge area would contain. If
292 appropriate, a sub-topic section of a knowledge area may have its own context diagram for
293 clarity.

297 4.2.2. Activity Groups

298 In the center of each context diagram, there is a box listing the processes for that knowledge
299 area and topic.
300
301 Each process has activities classified as belonging to one of four Activity Groups:

April 23, 2012 2012 DAMA International All Rights Reserved 11

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

302 Planning Activities (P) High level or supervisory activities that set the strategic
303 and tactical course for other data management activities.
304 Planning activities may be performed on an iterative basis.
305 Control Activities (C) Oversight activities performed on an on-going basis.
306 Development Activities (D) Activities undertaken within projects and recognized as
307 part of the systems development lifecycle (SDLC), creating
308 data deliverables through analysis, design, building,
309 testing, and deployment, performed on an iterative basis.
310 Operational Activities (O) Service and support and maintenance activities performed
311 on an on-going basis.
312
313 Below is an overview of the work profile for our four Activities Groups
314
Iterative On-going
Oversight Planning (P) Control (C)
Attention to Detail Development (D) Operational (O)
315

316 4.2.3. Environmental Elements

317 The seven Environmental Elements provide a logical and consistent way to describe each
318 knowledge area.
319
320 The Elements provide a structure for:
321 Consistent presentation in each DAMA-DMBOK2 chapter.
322 Organizing assessment questions, findings and recommendations.
323 Guiding strategic planning for each knowledge area.
324
325 The Framework identifies the following seven elements in DAMA-DMBOK2 consistent with
326 DAMA-DMBOK version 1. Each Element now has an additional type descriptor; People, Process,
327 or Technology

640 6. Concordance between DAMA DMBOK Editions

641
642 Many of the concepts are similar between the editions and are covered in this section. These
643 concepts include:
644
645 Context diagrams
646 Environmental elements
647 Activity groups and classifications
648
649 The DAMA-DMBOK2 will contain some different concepts than the 1st edition and these
650 concepts are covered in section 4 of this Framework.
651
652 They include, in summary:
653
654 Revised DAMA-DMBOK knowledge area wheel to include eleven knowledge areas with
655 the addition of Data Integration and Interoperability
656 A re-ordering of the knowledge area wheel so that Data and Content Management is
657 introduced earlier in the lifecycle of the wheel (as read clockwise)

 DAMA-DMBOK2 Framework

658 An emphasis on knowledge areas (rather than functions) that will contain multiple
659 subjects
660 A re-structured format for each chapter, including re-formatted context diagrams
661 An emphasis on data governance as a unifying oversight mechanism in data
662 management
663
664 A table describing the areas of similarities and differences between editions will be included in
665 the DAMA-DMBOK2 as an appendix.

666 7. Next Steps

667
668 This Framework proposes an outline and structure for DAMA-DMBOK2. It will be made
669 available for a period of time to DAMA members for comment, and then to the general public.
670
671 The comments will be compiled and be available via www.dama.org. The final Framework will
672 be provided to the primary contributing authors as a guideline for development of their
673 knowledge area or section, and to all reviewers so they can comment within expected content
674 parameters. The editors are responsible for the final DAMA-DMBOK2 presentation and content.
