•Define the minimum standards for a data product, including purpose, consumers, inputs, outputs, KPI definitions, quality expectations, freshness, privacy classification, owner, support model and retirement plan.
•Create clear ownership across domains, central teams and shared capabilities.
•Identify opportunities for reuse across domains and prevent duplicated metrics, pipelines and reporting logic.
