Data stewards are flooded with requests to fix typos in catalog descriptions while semantic definition changes wait weeks. How should change control be tiered?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Not every edit needs a city council hearing—fixing a typo is not the same as redefining a KPI. Let trivial description fixes be light and self-serve, and keep review for meaning changes. That tiering clears the steward backlog.
Full Explanation
Tiered metadata change control separates trivial content edits from semantic changes that affect meaning and compliance. Self-serve paths for description typos reduce steward overload, while glossary-definition changes retain review. Uniform heavyweight approval for every character change creates backlog; unrestricted rewrites of KPIs create risk. Proportionate tiers balance agility and control.
