KRA: Oversee database design, implementation, and maintenance.

Short Description: Ensure databases are secure, efficient, and aligned with business needs.

• Database uptime percentage
• Query performance optimization
• Data backup and recovery efficiency
• Database security compliance

3. Data Governance

KRA: Establish data governance policies and procedures.

Short Description: Ensure data quality, integrity, and compliance with regulations.

• Data quality index improvement
• Data governance policy adherence rate
• Regulatory compliance rate
• Data security incident resolution time

4. Data Integration

KRA: Integrate data from various sources into a unified system.

Short Description: Ensure seamless data flow across different platforms and systems.

• Data integration project completion rate
• Data consistency across systems
• Data migration success rate
• Data integration cost optimization

5. Performance Monitoring

KRA: Monitor and optimize data performance for efficiency.

Short Description: Ensure data systems operate at peak performance levels.

Real-Time Example of KRA & KPI

Example: Implementing Data Governance Policies

KRA: Implementing data governance policies to enhance data quality and regulatory compliance.

• KPI 1: Increase in data quality index by 15% within 6 months.
• KPI 2: Achieve 100% adherence to data governance policies within a year.
• KPI 3: Maintain a regulatory compliance rate of 95% quarterly.
• KPI 4: Resolve data security incidents within 24 hours on average.

This example illustrates how implementing robust data governance policies led to improved data quality, compliance, and security.

Key Takeaways

• KRA defines what needs to be done, whereas KPI measures how well it is done.
• KPIs should always be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
• Regular tracking and adjustments ensure success in Data Architect role.

Ensure your performance as a Data Architect is aligned with these key areas and measurable KPIs for optimal results.
