I’m not confident, but I think Project lifecycle was mentioned in relation to Reference Data. I should have reviewed that section more thoroughly.

I’m leaning towards System development lifecycle, but I recall some examples that highlighted Agile for data projects. It’s tough to decide!

I remember discussing the importance of a data-centric approach in class. It feels like it could be the right answer, but I’m a bit confused about how it compares to Agile.

I think it might be Agile, but I’m not entirely sure. We did a practice question on development lifecycles, and Agile seemed to fit well with iterative processes.

The Project lifecycle could work, but I'm not sure it fully captures the ongoing nature of reference and master data management. I may need to re-read the question.

I'm leaning towards the Data-centric option. That seems like it would provide the right framework for governing and managing reference and master data effectively.

The System development lifecycle is probably the most traditional approach, but I'm not sure if that's the best fit here. I'll have to think it through.

I'm a little unsure about this one. The Agile approach could also work well for reference and master data efforts, but I'm not totally confident.

I think the Data-centric approach makes the most sense for managing reference and master data. It's focused on the data itself rather than the system or project.
