Editorial Reviews

Review

"The prizes from Agile development mean nothing if, as a result, we lose control of our data. This book is a critical resource, clearly describing the techniques through which we can avoid this pitfall, and instead, deliver the potentially dramatic rewards from both Agile and Data Governance." - Reem Zahran, Operations & IT Director, Kantar Media "Just 'doing' Agile doesn't work, what's required is a cultural shift to embrace Agile. What this book explains, is how to make the required Agile cultural shift, yet still remain compliant through effective Data Governance. This is, of course, absolutely essential for so many companies, especially those in Finance." - Rob Webb, General Manager, International Financial Services, Commonwealth Bank
