Data is one of the six pillars of governance required to achieve successful project delivery, according to the The Infrastructure Governance Code launched earlier this week.
The code sets out the best practice to create the right environment for effective decision-making in project delivery. It has been developed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
According to the code, data must relate to, and allow tracking of, performance against the defined outcome targets to ensure that governance and decisions optimise value. There should be provenance and chain of custody through which the data is processed. And also an organisation’s ability to apply robust governance around this process to ensure the base data points are credible.
Furthermore, organisations’ boards and their governance should assure the veracity and integrity of the data they use.
