Engagement and programme governance
Governance structure
To improve responsiveness and support robust decision making across the programme, we have revised our governance structure.

The HESA Data Futures Delivery Group (DFDG) will be attended by HESA and Jisc, with OfS as an observer in an assurance capacity.
The Programme Board is the key decision making group for Data Futures, meeting monthly and comprising representatives from statutory customers and sector groups.
The implementation of the Design Authority ensures that key design choices are assessed to ensure the solution meets the requirements (including non-functional requirements) and aligns with HESA’s design principles.
The Quarterly Review Group will provide Board level oversight to support successful delivery of the Data Futures programme.
