Task Summary
For this assignment, you are required to write a 1500-word report proposing data management
solutions for the organisation presented in the case scenario.
Context
Module 1 and 2 explored the fundamentals of data management. This assignment gives you the
opportunity to make use of these concepts and propose a data management solution (a preproposal) for the organisation presented in the case scenario. This assessment is largely inspired
from Data Management Maturity (DMM)SM Model by CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration).
Task Instructions
1. Please read the attached case scenario.
2. Write a 1500-word data management pre-proposal for the organisation.
3. The pre-proposal should not only discuss the technical but also the managerial aspects (cost,
manpower, resources, etc.). Please keep in mind that you are writing a pre-proposal and not
a detailed proposal.
4. Please ensure that you remain objective when writing the pre-proposal.
5. Your pre-proposal should ideally answer (but not be limited to) the following questions:
a) What would the data management strategy be?
b) How would data communication be done?
