Development-Process-Flow Templates to Advance a Functional Presentation of the DAMA Curriculum Framework to Ensure Information Quality by Achieving CMMI Level 3 in Enterprise Projects

The Data Management Association (DAMA) published body of knowledge framework defines the responsibility of IT professionals across the development life-cycle with respect to the domain of information engineering. Yet, it is not information that is power, it is applied information. The Capability Maturity Model (CMMI) of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) promotes not only managing a project but utilization of a well defined methodology that can be improved by measurement and repair processes. The DAMA Body of Knowledge (BOK) suggests richly a set of skills. We demonstrate a sequence of templates controlled through a prescribed development-process-flow that can enable a team to achieve CMMI level 3 processes for data management, providing a high level of information quality. Furthermore, we propose an international repository of collected reviewed exceptional templates for information engineering that will significantly improve the IT industry.
