Each role must work independently and in collaboration to improve data quality.  Communication is important to the success of a data quality program. To build trust in data, internal communication regarding data quality should be as transparent as possible.  If there are problems in a certain area, the staff should be informed.  The communication should keep data quality as top of mind for the staff. *Additional Resources* Blog Post: [Internal Communication Regarding Data Quality](https://blog.idatainc.com/dq-internal-communication) Blog Post: [Data Quality Responsibilities at All Levels](https://blog.idatainc.com/dq-peopleresponsibilities) **Processes (Assessment, Rules, Issue & Resolution)** – The three key processes for data quality are: data quality rules, data quality assessment using the rules, and data quality issue resolution.  A data quality rule is a tool for codifying the accuracy and completeness of a data attribute.  And you must have a catalog to organize the rules.  The most pro-active component of a data quality program is to measure or assess data against quality rules. Routine assessment can uncover hidden gaps or inaccuracies before a user discovers them. Most assessment tasks can be automated and scheduled.  A data quality issue is a real or perceived inaccuracy discovered anywhere in the data environment.  Critical in the managing of quality issues is the ability to funnel issues from multiple communication channels into one issue tracking system. *Additional Resources* Blog Post: [Data Quality Programs](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-programs) Blog Post: [Data Quality Rules](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-rules) Blog Post: [Assess Data Quality Within Data Systems](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-assessment) Blog Post: [Data Quality Issues](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-issues) Blog Post: [The Steps of a Data Quality Issue Resolution](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-resolution-process) Video: [Types of Data Quality Rules](https://youtu.be/28QKjF3VpaM) Video: [Data Quality Process](https://youtu.be/7XHTvqrelpA) Video: [Turning Data Quality Issues into Rules and Assessments](https://youtu.be/RIzr0fp2HcA) Recorded Webinar: [Documenting and Monitoring Your Data Quality Rules](https://go.idatainc.com/vid-data-quality-rules) **Content** – Data quality has a variety of content that is beneficial to the organization  including quality issue resolutions, quality assessments and quality rules.  This content should be accessible to those that need them. *Additional Resources* Blog Post: [Data Quality Content](https://blog.idatainc.com/contentofdatagovernance) **Action Items and Thoughts** – There are many actions or tasks that can be done to improve data quality.  Select a few items and consistently practice them. Slowly add more items to your list.  Soon your small data quality program will grow into an impressively large one!   Actions should include ones on getting started, determining sources of data errors, people responsibilities, internal communication, data quality rules, data assessments and issue resolution.  While working with schools we have come up with several thoughts that we would like to share on improving data quality.  Start any project such as improving data quality with planning and in most cases that should include a brainstorming session where you get stakeholders together. The goal of these sessions is to create a plan and action items on how to improve data quality. *Additional Resources* Blog Post: [Data Quality Action Items - Part 1](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-actions-part1) Blog Post: [Data Quality Action Items - Part 2](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-actions-part2) Blog Post: [Thoughts on Data Quality](https://blog.idatainc.com/thoughts-improving-dq) Blog Post: [Brainstorming about Data Quality](https://blog.idatainc.com/dq-brainstorming) Blog Post: [Some Thoughts on Data Literacy and Data Quality](https://blog.idatainc.com/thoughts-data-quality) Blog Post: [Preceptions of Data Quality Issues](https://blog.idatainc.com/data-quality-issues) Recorded Webinar: [Pragmatic Management of Data Quality](https://go.idatainc.com/rw-pragmatic-management-data-quality) Recorded Webinar: [Why Having a Data Quality Issue Reporting Process is So Valuable](https://go.idatainc.com/rw-data-quality-issue-reporting) Recorded Webinar: [Data Quality Best Practices (30 minutes)](https://go.idatainc.com/rw-data-quality-bp-snack) Recorded Webinar: [Demonstration of the Data Cookbook Data Quality Features](https://go.idatainc.com/rw-data-quality-features) Recorded Webinar: [Managing a Pragmatic Data Quality Program](https://go.idatainc.com/rw-pragmatic-management-data-quality) Data quality is a key part of data governance and important to any organization. This post provided resources and covered the processes and roles that constitute a data quality program for organizations of any type, size and structure. Three critical key processes are necessary for enhanced data quality: rules, assessments, and submission/resolution of quality issues. And we covered the importance of data quality internal communication and data quality actions that will aid in improving data quality.  Your data quality efforts will benefit from the information in this blog post.
