PLM Governance
The organizational framework of people, processes, and policies that controls how product data is created, approved, modified, and retired across the product lifecycle.
Why it matters
Without governance, PLM systems accumulate uncontrolled data that nobody trusts, leading organizations to revert to informal workarounds that undermine the investment in the system.
