Data Definitions

Data Definitions

Control

Document and ensure all subtleties of definitions of all data dimensions are clear, inclusive of but not limited to gathering methods, allowed values, collection frequency, etc. If not, acquire such knowledge, or discard the dimension.

Aim

To (a) assess and prevent unjustified assumptions about the meaning of a data dimension or its values; and (b) highlight associated risks that might occur in the Product Lifecycle.
