Below is your important reading!
Data governance is where analytics meets trust. As organizations scale across countries, systems, and regulations, the volume of data grows—but so does the risk: inconsistent definitions, missing ownership, uncontrolled access, low-quality records, and audit findings that arrive too late. In this environment, “reporting” is not the hard part; confidence is.
In this Data Challenge, you will step into the role of a Data Governance & Compliance Analyst for a fictional multinational organization operating across Europe. Your mission is to evaluate how well the organization governs its data assets across critical dimensions: quality, access control, lineage, policy compliance, audit readiness, and risk exposure. You will work with real-world governance signals—DQ scores, issue logs, audit results, ownership gaps, SLA breaches, and regulatory categories—across business domains and data products.
Your objective is clear:
Transform raw governance signals into actionable oversight (where the organization is safe, and where it is exposed).
Identify systemic breakdowns (recurring DQ failures, unresolved issues, missing ownership, weak controls, repeated audit findings).
Prioritize remediation using impact, likelihood, and cost-of-non-compliance logic—so leaders know what to fix first.
You are not just measuring metrics—you’re telling the story of trust. The best submissions will connect governance KPIs to business outcomes (risk, operational efficiency, decision confidence), and propose targeted improvements such as ownership models, controls, issue triage processes, monitoring frameworks, and compliance-by-design practices.
This challenge is designed to test not only your analytical and technical skills, but also your ability to build an executive-ready narrative: what’s happening, why it matters, what the organization should do next, and how success should be measured.
KEY QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE
1. Which tables and fields in this dataset are most frequently used for reporting or decision-making?
2. Which columns appear to represent the same concept (e.g., dates, status, IDs, counts) but differ in name, format, or logic
3. Which fields have high missing, null, or inconsistent values, and which of those create real business risk?
4. For each critical table, who should own the definitions and quality of the data, based on how it is created and used?
5. Which fields show conflicting or outdated values when compared across tables or records?
6. Which tables or columns can be confidently labeled high-trust, and which should be flagged as use with caution?
7. What metadata is missing for this dataset (field definitions, source system, refresh frequency, transformation rules)?
8. Which fields may contain sensitive, personal, or restricted information, and is access currently appropriate?
9. Where could different teams reasonably interpret the same field differently, based on naming, values, or lack of definition?
10. Based on what we see in this dataset, what are the top three governance actions (definition cleanup, ownership assignment, quality rules, access control) we should take in the next 90 days?
Know more about the judging criteria and other requirements
1. Is too much text used for explanation?
2. Are the indicative colors in charts understandable?
3. Does it tell a story?
1. Cross-chart filtering implementation.
2. Across the report. Can other visuals provide relevant data as the user explores the rep.
3. Response time.
4. Drill Down: multi-layer data exploration. Can the user drill down and gain additional insights within the report?
5. Use of tutorial overlays and other elements to assist new users. Can a new user start using this report straight away with just the guidance provided within the report itself?
1. Visual design: is the overall look consistent, no empty spaces, no overcrowding?
2. Interface design: are there unnecessary visualisations, buttons, complexity in use?
3. UX design: is the produced report usable?
4. Report design: is the main challenge answered?
5. Technical: are all the fonts used the same, are the sizes readable?
All tools are permitted for the challenge.
For the ZoomCharts Challenge, create a Power BI report that includes at least 2 ZoomCharts Drill Down Visuals on one report page.
Reports are restricted to a maximum of three pages, including drill-through pages.
Canvas size is 16:9 (Default Power BI size) or Full HD size = w:1920 - h:1080.
Business users use reports to make data-driven decisions. Reports are effective if they enable users to drill down and filter data quickly and intuitively to find answers to any question they might have and analyse data in all possible directions and dimensions.
