Prioritizing Data Strategy and Governance in City Governments

During this Sprint, participants will work towards developing a Data Strategy and Governance in cities, with an equity lens. They will develop a comprehensive data strategy that includes clear goals, targets, and key activities for data initiatives. In addition, they will create a governance charter that outlines data routines, objectives, key participants, and actionable steps to effectively plan, monitor, and implement data management policies. 

The Sprint will help cities to achieve the following criteria:

  • DM1.1: Your data strategy and governance process is guided by a city-wide data strategy, charter, statement of purpose or documented set of goals and objectives.

  • DM1.2: The group charged with authority for data strategy and governance meets to carry out defined responsibilities at least quarterly.

  • DM1.3: Your data strategy and governance process includes an equity framework.

At the end of the Sprint, participants will have:

  • A data strategy through a structured plan and a governance charter

  • A defined group of people with roles and responsibilities to manage data resources in the city and monitor citywide data lifecycle

  • A standard for disaggregating data based on relevant demographic and equity standards.
