Writing the Sample Records Governance Plan document

Governance Plan

The Governance Plan will serve to provide a unified, centrally administered approach to records management within Decker, Hubbard and Brown. Why we need a governance plan. The Governance Plan is the road map for the overarching content environment, architecture, system development, process, policy and decisions for the Records Management Program. This plan also identifies the area of ownership for Decker, Hubbard and Brown's information management group and identifies who is responsible for which areas of the Records Management Program.

The Governance Plan sets the regulations and rules for the use of records and system environments so that the content to be managed is sustainable and grows in a consistent manner that is in line with Decker, Hubbard and Brown's goals and business requirements.

Governance Program Goals

The Decker, Hubbard and Brown governance plan outlines the content types that will be governed and the organization of the governance model. The plan will detail who will govern what and how the content will be governed.

Governance Structure

The Content Committee develops the roadmap and vision for the content management program and insures that the project timelines are socialized and delivered to the organization. The Content Manager insures the stakeholder expectations are managed and communicates any issues and change requirements. The departmental Content Specialist will train other personnel on asset management and provide requirements to business analyst and are the Go-To leads for business groups. The CIO is responsible for the architecture and long term support for the content management system.

Records Program Committee

Reference Program RACI for detailed roles and responsibilities.
