Onboarding Data Stewards

The IT Team provides onboarding training for new Data Stewards. A Data Steward is looked to as a SME (subject matter expert) of their field. We rely on each team’s Data Steward(s) to provide insight and guidance into their daily functions within CADENCE and business practice, participate in group meetings, communicate business rules and updates with their teams, and initiate new projects.

 

Prior to Onboarding Training, A new Data Steward Must:

  • Be cross-trained by their supervisor on their team’s day-to-day functions in CADENCE.

  • Review all Business Glossary terms Documentation Library procedures for their team.

  • Review the Data Stewards page on the Development Intranet here. 
  • Review the CADENCE page on the Development Intranet here.
  • Submit a HelpDesk Ticket to schedule your Onboarding training.
