Certified Data Management Professional – Fundamentals (CDMP) — Question 41

The advantage of a decentralized data governance model over a centralized model is:

Answer options

• A. An increased level of ownership from local decision making groups
• B. The cheaper execution of data governance operations
• C. The easier implementation of industry data models
• D. Having a common approach to resolving data governance issues
• E. The common metadata repository configurations

Correct answer: A
