ICCP DGSP study guide

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. Expect the exam to test governance operating models, stewardship roles and responsibilities, policy and standards development, data quality management, metadata and lineage, and the change-management and communication skills needed to make governance stick across business units. The published source material for this page does not include a DGSP-specific subject outline, so candidates should consult the ICCP site's Examinations & Outlines and Sample Examinations sections for the authoritative content list and item style. Topics on this exam: Data Governance & Stewardship. The ICCP DGSP study guide has 1 section and about 388 words.
