Start with a concrete requirement
DAMA-DMBOK2 gives teams a common vocabulary for data management. The useful next step is to connect a requirement to the people, capabilities and evidence that make it actionable. A policy document alone does not show that a control works.
A cockpit for the gaps
The new Backoffice readiness work brings requirements and maturity into one view. Teams can use that view to discuss what is covered, where evidence is missing and which follow-up deserves priority. A maturity assessment should record its scope and reviewer; it is not a certification.
Connect governance to delivery
For example, a data quality requirement can link to a responsible steward, the relevant data product and its validation evidence. The requirement remains understandable to the business while its implementation becomes traceable. This connects the governance conversation to the platform’s semantic layer.
Implementation status
The readiness implementation has been merged into the main codebase. Availability and acceptance in a particular environment still need to be verified. Start with one domain and a small set of requirements, and review the evidence before interpreting maturity scores.
