Chapter 5. Implementing Effective Governance
This chapter describes how to design a governance structure that will support modeling activities, that is the creation and maintenance of models. The governance of the organization is out of scope of this discussion. We are only interested in the candidate topics for inclusion in the central repository.
Too often modeling is seen as a technical function and is conducted in a vacuum. Getting the governance right is a key to successful strategy. By ensuring that all key stakeholders are involved, the models will reflect the higher needs of the business. In this chapter we discuss four topics around governance:
Who needs to be involved?
Agile Management
How to model a governance structure?
What to do if there is no governance?
