# Data Quality Ownership And Governance

I reflected on the heated debate about who should own data quality and concluded that **responsibility must be shared by everyone involved in the data lifecycle** – producers, consumers, and engineers alike.

Data quality is a hot topic; **producers, consumers, and engineers** each have a role to ensure clean, accurate, and valuable data.

- **Data producers**: generate and input data carefully.

I decided to **assign collective responsibility** because each group influences a different stage of the pipeline, and collaborative effort maximises overall data quality.

- **Data consumers**: stay aware of usage and suggest improvements.
- **Data engineers**: build validation pipelines and monitoring infrastructure.
