Applying the Lean Startup approach to data management Speaker: David Portnoy, Former Entrepreneur-in-Residence, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Abstract: Discussed at the White House Open Data Roundtable on data quality (and a subsequent government-wide Data Cabinet meeting), the Demand-Driven Open Data (DDOD) program was demonstrated to be an effective approach to improving data quality. DDOD is best described as “Lean Startup for open data”. It’s a framework for implementing open data initiatives in a more systematic and practical way, delivering improvements in data assets and creation of shared technical capabilities. We’ll also cover how a Lean Startup approach to data management is applicable to industry as well. This infographic demonstrates the accomplishments of the DDOD program within the pilot for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
