Data Warehouse Documentation Roadmap
All projects need documentation and many companies provide templates as part of a methodology. This document describes the templates, tools and source documents used by Data Management & Warehousing. It serves two purposes:

* For projects using other methodologies or creating their own set of documents to use as a checklist. This allows the project to ensure that the documentation covers the essential areas for describing the data warehouse.
* To demonstrate our approach to our clients by describing the templates and deliverables that are produced.

Data Warehouse Governance
An organisation that is embarking on a data warehousing project is undertaking a long-term development and maintenance programme of a computer system. This system will be critical to the organisation and cost a significant amount of money, therefore control of the system is vital. Governance defines the model the organisation will use to ensure optimal use and re-use of the data warehouse and enforcement of corporate policies (e.g. business design, technical design, and application security) and ultimately derive value for money.
