ICCP DGSP case studies

ICCP DGSP · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Data Governance & Stewardship Professional (DGSP) is one of the vendor-neutral certifications listed in the ICCP catalogue of available certifications, alongside credentials such as Certified Data Professional and Certified Data Scientist. ICCP describes itself as a non-profit organization founded in 1973 that is "an organization of professional societies and business partners" and that offers "the broadest range of certifications that are recognized internationally." The DGSP sits in the data management family of ICCP credentials, so it is aimed at practitioners who own or support data governance work: data stewards, data owners, data quality and metadata specialists, and the managers, architects and analytics leaders who must make governance operational rather than theoretical. The ICCP DGSP case studies are 5 cases and about 2,849 words.
