The Data Management Maturity (DMM) model provides a framework for organizations to evaluate their current data management capabilities, identify gaps, and develop a roadmap for process improvement. The webinar will describe the DMM model, which is based on the Capability Maturity Model and allows organizations to assess their maturity level across various data management practices. Attendees will learn about using the DMM to guide strategic improvements to their organizational data management.

Data-Ed Webinar: Best Practices with the DMM
1. Copyright 2013 by Data Blueprint
Welcome: Data Management Maturity - Achieving Best Practices using DMM
The Data Management Maturity (DMM) model is a framework for
the evaluation and assessment of an organization's data
management capabilities. The model allows an organization to
evaluate its current state data management capabilities, discover
gaps to remediate, and strengths to leverage. The assessment
method reveals priorities, business needs, and a clear, rapid path
for process improvements. This webinar will describe the DMM,
its evolution, and illustrate its use as a roadmap guiding
organizational data management improvements.
Key Takeaways:
• Our profession is advancing its knowledge and has a wide
spread basis for partnerships
• New industry assessment standard is based on successful
CMM/CMMI foundation
• Clear need for data strategy
• A clear and unambiguous call for participation

DMM Primer
• Reference model of foundational data management
practices
• Measurement instrument to evaluate capabilities and maturity
• Answers the question: “How are we doing?”
• Guidelines for: “What should we do next?”
• Baseline for: Integrated strategy & high-value specific
initiatives / improvements

DMM Themes
• Architecture and technology neutral – applicable to legacy, DW, SOA,
unstructured data environments, mainframe-to-Hadoop, etc.
• Industry independent – usable by every organization with data assets,
applicable to every industry
• Emphasis on current state – organization is assessed on the
implemented data layer and existing DM processes
• Launch collaborative and sustained capability improvement – for the life
of the DM program [aka, forever].
If you manage data, the DMM will benefit you

Foundation for Business Results
• Trusted Data – demonstrated and independently measured
capability to assure customer confidence in the data assets
• Improved Risk and Analytics Decisions – a comprehensive and
measured DM strategy ensures decisions are made based on
accurate data
• Cost Reduction/Operational Efficiency – clarity about current
and target states supports elimination of redundant data and
streamlining of DM processes and data stores
• Regulatory Compliance – independently evaluated and
measured DM capabilities to meet regulator requirements and
provide a yardstick within industries.

Motivation
• "We want to move our data management
program to the next level"
– Question: What level are you at now?
• You are currently managing your data,
– But, if you can't measure it,
– How can you manage it effectively?
• How do you know where to put time, money,
and energy so that data management best
supports the mission?
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and
saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I
take? she asked. Where do you want to go?
was his response. I don't know, Alice
answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't
matter."

DoD Origins
• US DoD Reverse Engineering
Program Manager
• We sponsored research at the
CMM/SEI asking
– “How can we measure the
performance of DoD and our
partners?”
– “Go check out what the Navy is up to!”
• SEI responded with an integrated
process/data improvement
approach
– DoD required SEI to remove the data
portion of the approach
– It grew into CMMI/DM BoK, etc.

DMM Drivers and Bio
• Data management is broad and
complex = challenging
• An effective DM program requires a
planned strategic effort – not a
Project, or a separate Program – a
lifestyle.
• Organizations needed a
comprehensive reference model to
precisely evaluate data
management capabilities
• DMM unifies understanding and
priorities of business, IT, and data
management.
• Foundation for collaborative and
sustained capability building.

• Authors with deep knowledge and experience in designing and
implementing data management
– Industry skills - MDM, DQ, EDW, BI, SOA, big data, governance,
enterprise architecture, data architecture, business and data
strategy, platform implementation, business process engineering,
business rules, software engineering, etc.
• Consortium approach – proven approaches
– Broad practical wisdom - What works
– DM experts combined with reference model architects and business
knowledge experts from multiple industries
– Extensive discussions resulting in consensus
• We wrote it for all of us
– To quickly and accurately measure where we are

Capability and Maturity Disambiguation
Capability – “We can do this”
• Specific Practices – “We’re doing it well”
• Work Products – “We’ve documented the processes we are
following” (processes, work products, guidelines, standards, etc.)
Maturity – “….and we can prove it”
• Process Stability – “Take it to the bank”
• Ensures Repeatability
• Policy
• Training
• Quality Assurance, etc.

44. Starting the Journey - DMM Assessment Method
• DMM can be used as a standalone guide
• To maximize its value as a catalyst - forging shared perspective and accelerating
the program, our method:
– Provides interactive launch collaboration event with broad range of stakeholder
– Evaluates capabilities collectively by consensus affirmations
– Facilitates unification of factions - everyone has a voice / role
– Solicits key business input through supplemental interviews
– Verifies capability evaluation with work product reviews (evidence)
– Report and executive briefing presents Scoring, Findings, Observations, Strengths,
and targeted specific Recommendations.
• In the near future, audit-level rigor will be introduced to serve as a benchmark of
maturity, leveraging the CMMI Appraisal method.
To date, over 200 individuals from business, IT, and data management in early adopter organizations have
employed the DMM - practice by practice, work product by work product - to evaluate their capabilities.
48
48. ‹#›
Summary - Why Do a DMM Assessment?
• Engage the lines of business through education
• Tour de force – learn precisely “How are we doing?”
• Clarifies priorities – “What should we do next?”
• Industry-wide standard begets confidence
• Heals factions and silos – (i.e., improves climate for an
organization-wide program)
• Creates:
• Common concepts, perspective, and terminology
• A shared vision and purpose
• Baseline for monitoring progress over time

– 90 day increments
– Data evolution is measured in years
