  • When talking about data management privacy policies must be kept in mind as well. One must ensure you only collect data that you need and no unnecessary data as it could become a liability. Identifying the data that you need and developing a tool that collects only this data can save you a lot of trouble later in your project.

  • How can is ensure data management in my organization is effective?

  • Data management is the process of ingesting, storing, organizing and maintaining the data created and collected by an organization. Effective data management is a crucial piece of deploying the IT systems that run business applications and provide analytical information to help drive operational decision-making and strategic planning by corporate executives, business managers and other end users.
    The data management process includes a combination of different functions that collectively aim to make sure that the data in corporate systems is accurate, available and accessible. Most of the required work is done by IT and data management teams, but business users typically also participate in some parts of the process to ensure that the data meets their needs and to get them on board with policies governing its use.

  • Data management questions; these are questions which are used while connection data.
    Some of these questions are as follows...
    1 what
    2 who
    3 how often
    4 By who
    5 can we do it

    All these above questions are used in the data management or collection.

  • Usually in the project we have just 1 person responsible for M&E - mostly doing everything. I could not imagine a M&E team with several persons in a project were are only 5-6 project employees. Probably, project team should be some how included in M&E process and data collection.

  • Very sensitive topic. In different countries could be interpreted differently, based on believes, culture, opinions etc.

  • If an organization does not have an M&E in place, who would be able to manage the data knowing that project coordinators are often overloaded with several jobs? Does this hinder the quality of the activities implemented?

  • The collation of data will depend on how well data was collected. This willl give the users a meaningful interpretation and analysis before sending reports to the intended reciepients.

  • The collation of data will depend on how well data was collected. This willl give the users a meaningful interpretation and analysis before sending reports to the intended reciepients.

  • In data management, there are basically five questions.

    1. What is your data?
      Quantitative, qualitative, spatial, text, video, physical object, ???
      Will the dataset(s) grow over time?
      What tools or software are needed to create & use the data?

    2. How will you document and describe the data?
      Methodology
      Field names, data identifiers, metadata
      Naming conventions

    3. Does the data need to be protected?
      Participant/human subject privacy
      Intellectual property
      Anonymization

    4. Will you share your data with others?
      Expectation of funding agency
      Open access
      Journal citation

    5. How will you store and access the data over the short- and long-term?
      How long?
      What file formats?

  • Data indeed represents human beings, and must be handled discreetly.

  • Data flow maps effectively show how data is collected, managed and used. It is very essential tool for successful M&E plan. Also, data needs to be regularly verified for collection accuracy.

  • Swift, data management and clear regulations are vital for successful project plan.

  • Swift, data management and clear regulations are vital for a successful project plan.

  • My Question: In the pre-assessment questions, data collection was not considered part of the data management process. However, during the learning in the module, data collection is mentioned as step 1 of the data management process. I am confused by this. I hope someone can clarify this. Thanks in advance.

  • My question as well

  • Research data include observations about the world that are used as primary sources to support scientific and technical inquiry, scholarship and research-creation, and as evidence in the research process. Research data are gathered through a variety of methods, including experimentation, analysis, sampling and repurposing of existing data. They are increasingly produced or translated into digital formats.

  • I would really want to learn more about mapping

  • In the first of this module I understood that the data collection is not part of data management process but in later in Data Management: The Data Factory I saw that the data collection was part of the process. I become confuse can any one from learners or course staff clear me?

  • how can I know who to assign certain responsibility to

  • Great insight

  • Data management involves data collection, data entry and collation, data analysis, data verification, data storage, data use.
    data collation is grouping similar data together.

  • Data management is more similar to the the way our body works we idolize an idea, we implement and make it work, the systematic flow of data from its conception on the ground level to the highest level of the project its what keeps the project running, so good data management will always bring out the best in an organization

  • Data is essential to how a business operates and functions. Businesses must make sense of data and find relevancy in the noise that’s created by diverse systems and technologies supporting today’s highly connected global economies. In this regard, data takes center stage. On its own, data is useless – companies need an effective strategy, governance, and data management model to leverage all forms of data for practical and efficient use across supply chains, employee networks, customer and partner ecosystems

  • DATA MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS.

    Data management is how you extract answers and insights from raw data to meet your information needs. The proliferation of electronic data-collection methods in recent years has created the impression data management is all about technology, but its roots are firmly in accounting, statistics, and planning.
    Data management includes storage, data security, data sharing, data governance, data architecture, database management, and records management. Once your data management strategy is in place, you’ll glean important insights by using your data to its full potential.

  • At the heart of knowledge and information, data has gradually taken on an importance that is beyond us. But what exactly do we mean by data? What are the issues surrounding their management or analysis? What impact on society?
    Data is the basic description of a reality or fact, such as a temperature reading, a student's mark on an exam, the status of an account, a message, a photo, a transaction , etc. A piece of data can therefore be very simple and, taken in isolation, not very useful. But cross-checking with other data becomes very interesting. For example, a list of temperatures for a given region over a long period can tell us about global warming. Or the average mark of a student in a subject over a year informs us of the level of acquisition of knowledge of the student in this subject. There is therefore a subtle relationship between data and information, terms that are often confused in everyday language. But obtaining information requires the work of analyzing and interpreting the data (eg a list of grades) to give them meaning in a certain context (eg a subject over a year). Thus, data is the raw material that makes it possible to produce information, which can be used for various daily activities: evaluation, recommendation, decision-making, forecasting, research, etc. Conversely, to understand where information comes from, it is necessary to be able to find the initial data, hence the need to record this data in a memory.
    The digital world that is emerging before our eyes has been made possible by developments in research in many fields, and especially in computer science, the science that deals with data and algorithms. Digital and IT feed off each other in a virtuous way, with the digital world generating many new research problems related to data or the automation of increasingly complex tasks. And because digital technology leads to a profound questioning of our modes of organization, it also gives rise to research at the crossroads of disciplines, to think about the many legal, economic, environmental, political questions, etc. which he raises.

  • Data management process is an important role in M&E plan to ensure each step tasks are assigned to some one to do it, because each one's efforts is what makes a project a success

  • Data management is based on collection of data, data usage,data flow maps data collection tool and data Analysis data management process is not quite simple data's are collected and recorded at different test and days.

  • A very important thematic unit. It is necessary to develop such tools.

  • I think data management is key in design. A clear picture of how data will be collected, collated, analyzed, used and the responsibilities of all those involved in the process paints a picture of success.

  • Data management is vital to M&E as duties can not be well executed if the data management is poor.

  • why should data be arranged
    what should the hierarchy of data use
    who should use archived data

  • Before discussing Data Management question let's take a look at Data Management and Data Management process.
    The main aim of Date Management is to help people, organizations etc. make good decisions while Data Management process are necessary steps taken in order to convert raw data into useful information. these whole processes cannot be effective if some Data Management Questions aren't answered, questions of
    1- What are the responsibilities, the tasks, that will need to be completed
    2- Who are the people who will take on these responsibilities and what are their roles.
    Data Management questions help individuals, organizations etc. share responsibilities effectively and gives works or participant clear roles.

  • The data management question are: who collect the data, who collate the data, who manage the data, who use the data, and who the data benefit?

  • I believe it is never too early to begin thinking about the answers to these questions and incorporating them into the design of a research project.
    What information do you have?
    How are you going to document and describe the data?
    Is it necessary to protect the data?
    Will you make your data available to others?
