Mapping Data Flows Checklist

Mapping Data Flows Checklist

This guidance document is intended to help educational agencies and institutions create visual “maps” of how their data flows in the data systems. Including maps in data governance plans can help organizations better understand what data are in their systems, where the data reside, what sources they come from, why those data are collected, what limitations or restrictions apply, how they are linked, and what policy questions those data are used to answer. We have downloaded a copy of PTAC’s resource for your viewing.
