Open Source Program Office
Establishing an Open Source Program Office:An organization that wishes to set up an Open Source Program Office will need tools and templates that will allow them to evaluate the gaps, bottlenecks, and other constraints and opportunities to understand what will need to be done.This project is to develop the strategy and roadmap for such OSPO development. Artifacts produced would be:Workshop templates and questionnairesDocumented methods for evaluating current state challenges and opportunitiesTools to assemble the collected information and roadmap for next stepsOther planning and development documentationIt is not expected that every OSPO will be the same so flexibility in the process will need to be built in.

Digital Platform
A digital platform for data and analytics execution. Requires generic data access APIs (REST, SOA, etc.) for relational databases, Hadoop data lakes, and external and flat files. Open source execution (Python, R, etc.). Potential containerized deployments. Execution requires logging and security. Source code control.
Élaboration d'une feuille de route pour un programme de gouvernance des données
Une organisation qui souhaite mettre sur pied un programme de gouvernance des données aura besoin d'outils et de modèles qui lui permettront d'évaluer les lacunes, les engorgements et autres détails nécessaires pour bien cerner les mesures à prendre.Ce projet vise à élaborer la feuille de route pour l'élaboration d'un tel programme de gouvernance des données. Les pièces à produire seraient :Modèles d'atelier et questionnaires;Outils de classification des données;Sommations réglementaires (GDPR, CCA, etc.);Méthodes documentées d'évaluation des défis et des possibilités de la situation actuelle;Outils pour rassembler l'information recueillie et une feuille de route pour les prochaines étapes;Autres documents de planification et de développement.Comme tous les programmes de gouvernance des données ne seront pas nécessairement les mêmes, il faudra faire preuve de souplesse dans le processus.

Analytics workflow
Regulated companies require oversight on modelling activities. Models (scorecard, predictive, ML, AI) progressing from development to production need to be vetted and approved by different departments at different stages. Each department will have to certify that certain criteria are met. A platform for model performance and comparison reporting will need to be part of this application. At each workflow step questions need to be presented and answers collected (questions may be developed dynamically and stored in a database for individual deployments). Some kind of source code control would be used to ensure that the model documents are protected and some kind of integrity is preserved.
