Posted by Billy on May 14, 2026 at 05:10 PM

The definition of data elements is different across various data sources. The organization is looking to improve the usability of data across the organization. Which practice would help address this problem?

Suggested Answer: A

Data governance is the practice of establishing and enforcing policies, standards, roles, and responsibilities for the management and use of data across the organization. Data governance helps to address the problem of inconsistent data definitions across various data sources by ensuring that data is properly defined, documented, classified, and aligned with the business objectives and requirements12. Reference: 1: Guide to Business Data Analytics, IIBA, 2020, p. 292: Data Governance: How to Design, Deploy and Sustain an Effective Data Governance Program, John Ladley, 2012, p. 3.
