1.2.4 Develop Data Inventory Schedule - Summary

Summarize the Inventory Schedule

In order to ensure all data assets from each program in the agency will be identified and accounted for in its Enterprise Data Inventory, the SBA is focused on linking various information management programs together. Specifically, the SBA Enterprise Data Inventory is considered complete when each Program Office (PO) has accounted for all datasets used in the agency’s information systems that can be made public. The SBA Enterprise Data Inventory provides a schedule and a methodical approach for completing this task. Each SBA PO will review data from each of its information management programs to identify a complete list of information collections, record schedules, and IT investments that contain data. Once the list is complete, POs will proceed with inventorying the datasets contained in those information systems.
