Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in big data governance whether or not anyone says so. Availability targets for the technology and systems delivery capability are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the practice within technology and systems delivery, not around theory headings. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting big data governance, ready to be adapted internally. Organisations that document the technology and systems delivery discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Progress on the wider technology and systems delivery agenda is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of big data governance rather than to abstract argument. The content is relevant to those who own this strand of technology and systems delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the technology and systems delivery discipline survives a hostile question.
