First San Francisco Partners’ How to Create a Data Governance Business Case template is a practical guide for creating a clear and compelling document you can use in your organization. It’s based on our almost two decades of data consulting experience, including a large engagement with a multinational pharmaceutical company.

We suggest you include these four sections in your data governance business case:

  • Opportunity/Problem Statement
  • Initiative/Solution Description
  • Required Resources
  • Anticipated Value

Our template also lists business case best practices to drive support of your data governance initiative.

  • Identify Your Business Case’s Audience
  • Remove Jargon
