DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Give people a useful view of approved business data definitions and proposed table or field requirements, with room to verify and correct.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a documented checklist of data structures an authorized owner says are needed. An assumed field or schema change can alter downstream records or expose sensitive information. Confirm the data owner, purpose, and access needs, check existing definitions and dependencies, avoid storing unnecessary personal data, and require an administrator to approve each live change. Use only necessary information, explain retention, respect consent and source rights, verify material details, and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.

Keep in mind

An assumed field or schema change can alter downstream records or expose sensitive information. Confirm the data owner, purpose, and access needs, check existing definitions and dependencies, avoid storing unnecessary personal data, and require an administrator to approve each live change.
