CRUD Matrix

One of the critical task in MDM project is to identify and define owners for various data elements. A sample spreadsheet as shown below can be used as a starting point to collect this information and which can be further used to define goverance around those elements like who updates what , who can view what ? 



Each cell can have values like C(Create), U(Update),R(Read Only),D(Delete).  The cell which intersects function and data elements and having values C or U are the natural owner for that element. Such spreadsheet will also help to identify any conflicts in ownsership which is possible in a large enterprise.
