An effective Data Governance communication program should employ multiple complementary communication mechanisms, making All answers correct. Governance changes how people define, create, use, approve, and resolve issues with data; consequently, sustained adoption requires more than publishing policies.

Regular newsletters keep stakeholders aware of progress, decisions, metrics, and upcoming activities. A Data Governance Portal provides a persistent location for policies, standards, stewardship information, glossaries, issue processes, and supporting materials. Custom training develops the capabilities required for individuals to understand their specific governance responsibilities. Informal networking events help establish relationships across business and technical groups, which is particularly important when resolving data ownership and definition conflicts.

DAMA-DMBOK2 treats communication and organizational change as core implementation considerations because governance depends on participation across functions rather than on a single technical team. Published CDMP material for this item identifies the combined response—newsletters, portal, training, and networking—as the intended answer.

For Data Quality, communication ensures that quality definitions, issue-management procedures, stewardship responsibilities, thresholds, and remediation decisions are understood and consistently applied.
