Abstract:
This review paper explores integrating agile methodologies into data governance to achieve flexibility and control. Agile methodologies, known for their iterative development, collaboration, and responsiveness to change, can enhance the adaptability of data governance frameworks. This paper analyzes the alignment of agile principles with data governance, discusses strategies for integration, such as adaptive data governance and incremental implementation, and examines how to balance flexibility with the necessary controls for effective data governance. Key practices, challenges, and potential solutions focus on fostering a collaborative culture and leveraging appropriate tools and technologies. The paper also suggests future research directions, emphasizing the role of emerging technologies and evolving regulatory requirements. Ultimately, this integration enhances decision-making, operational efficiency, and organizational competitive advantage.
