Main Responsibilities Of A Data Steward

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES OF A DATA STEWARD //
Without a data steward, data scientists wouldn't be able to understand and trust the data that they are using, AI/ML wouldn't output correct results, and a company wouldn't be able to become data-driven.
So who is this unsung hero? What do they do? These are the main responsibilities of a data steward.

Many Data Managers job titles are now getting changed to Data Steward. Any idea why this is so?

[@lcsxwtian]

Makes so much sense!

[@LightsOnData]

Glad to hear that and thanks for watching.

Hi George , Thanks for this video . I'm a master data analyst and my team does have the data stewardship duties everyday. Is a data steward/master data analyst a good career option or should I move towards a more technical role. I have ETL background but now working more as a functional/business consultant....

[@LightsOnData]

Hi Palash, I think that there is a need for both, technical and business. So it depends what you like doing more. For the business side, in general an organization prefers to recruit someone internally and train them because they already have a lot of that business knowledge, context, and relationships. But then again, you also have the advantage of knowing the technical side so you could handle both areas which is not too common. You’re in a good place to choose which one you like the most.

[@palashboruah9725]

@@LightsOnData thanks for lot for the insight ...yes ,getting to see it all is what matters and is not common ...I hope I'm able to learn more soon ...will keep in touch ..☺️☺️looking forward to more videos ...

@@palashboruah9725 thank you! 🙂 new videos will be added at least once a week

Hey George, What do you consider are the main differences between Master Data Analysis and Master Data Stewart?

[@LightsOnData]

Hi Elizabeth, It depends. The way I look at it, there shouldn’t be much of a difference. Sometimes the organization picks the Data Steward title to emphasize the importance of data governance and data stewardship, but the roles should be about the same. I’ve seen an instance where the master data analyst was similar to a data analyst/data scientist and the master data steward was more focused on ensuring data governance processes and policies are followed for the data they stewarded. So it depends on that job description if those roles are synonyms or not.

[@lizzfg]

@@LightsOnData yes I think you are correct, Thank you so much!

[@LightsOnData]

@@lizzfg it's my pleasure.

[@reajoybaco3982]

Why do we need data steward in the implementation of good governance and social responsibility?

[@rksharveshentertainmentcha4772]

Nice

[@LightsOnData]

🙌👍

[@Adharsh6]

Nice video. What is data domain?

[@LightsOnData]

Here's my video on what a data domain is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmLTnmyKmLiohtU

[@kingofspadesjack572]

I applied for Data Scientist sponsored by the Government but I withdrew and chose Data steward. What is your advice?

[@LightsOnData]

I think that, if you can, you should go for whatever you enjoy doing. After all, we spend at least 8 hours at work every day, so might as well choose something that we enjoy doing (if possible).

[@kalinarpr]

Hello! I loved the video! I'm currently responsible for the data governance program at a public organization in Brazil. Would you allow me to add a subtitle in portuguese and publish the video as part of a serie of educational videos in data governance? Of course I would point to the original video and your channel. Thanks in advance!

[@LightsOnData]

Absolutely! Thanks Kalina. I think that you can add subtitles directly to this video, if you wish to.

[@kalinarpr]

@@LightsOnData Thank you very much! I´ll do that, add the subtitles directly to the video and point to it. Thanks again!

[@BlackWhite-wt6bv]

Our country offers a free course online for data stewardship and you'll get a certificate after finishing it. I am interested in learning this but it seems like only a few people are. Do you think it's a good course to learn if Im planning to switch careers? What's the career path for a data steward? Thanks!

[@LightsOnData]

I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about that course so I wouldn’t know if it’s good or not. If this is something that you want to do, you should pursue your goal.

[@federico792]

Is Data in the latest Daniels movie?] Is Data in Everything everywhere all at once movie??

[@nurfarahizzati1303]

Done

[@bhushanmayank]

Brother, while your tone is engaging, you should not waste time in setting up context in the beginning. That is nt that useful considering short time people have in this industry..

[@LightsOnData]

Thanks for the feedback, Mayank.
