Actions Taken

In order to gain familiarity with the project and establish a more detailed understanding of the requirements, I consulted with stakeholders. that is, those who were given the responsibility to organize the overall project direction and who were to implement the early start-up phases of the project. These included the IT director, a software development manager and a quality assurance lead on the project. I proceeded to develop a comprehensive plan which focused on a few core objectives and a strategy that allowed for the development of Data Quality Profiles. These profiles allowed for targeted assessments of various types of information that were planned for or were already being stored in key databases (elements of which were already in production). The profiles provided a range of quantitative views on the quality of information, from general historical trends to a “drill-down” detail at the record and field level for a particular circumstance.
