Data Mesh Governance / Operating Model / Collaboration Mode
Regular Governance Meetings
Context
How are the policies created, reviewed, discussed, and agreed upon?

We meet every two weeks online.
In the meeting, we work on the policies together, and we decide upon them.
We use the following agenda as a template for every meeting.
