What is DAMA-DMBOK and why is it important for data professionals?
Data management is a complex and evolving field that encompasses various disciplines, practices, and standards for ensuring the quality, availability, security, and value of data in organizations. Data management professionals need to have a common understanding of the principles, concepts, and terminology of data management, as well as the best practices and guidelines for applying them in different contexts and scenarios.
That's where DAMA-DMBOK comes in. DAMA-DMBOK stands for Data Management Body of Knowledge, and it is a comprehensive guide to international data management standards and practices for data professionals. It is developed and maintained by DAMA International, a global association of data management professionals that aims to advance the concepts and practices of data management and support its members and their organizations to address their data management needs.

Each knowledge area provides an overview of the objectives, scope, roles, responsibilities, processes, activities, functions, techniques, tools, standards, metrics, and deliverables related to that area. DAMA-DMBOK also provides a framework for aligning data management with business strategy, goals, and objectives, as well as a maturity model for assessing the current state and desired state of data management capabilities in an organization.
