Tools of the Trade training

Each of these half-day events will provide participants with an introduction to a particular tool and the underlying methodology. A key goal for these events will be to show how the tools may be used as a means of identifying requirements, planning, and/or benchmarking data management activity and improvement over time.

The events will also feature practical exercises and examples of how the tools have been used in a real-life setting.  

The DCC is funded by
