Gathering and interpreting results from a DMM or Data Governance assessment are important because:

Lack of results gathered can indicate a lack of assessment performance

The assessments are done by different teams within the organization and may have different results

Interpreting these results is difficult

Data Management and Data Governance results are gathered and interpreted differently, depending on the organization being evaluated

Performing these activities objectively can ensure the success of the assessment and affect the acceptance and implementation of the data management and/or Data Governance program
