Data Ownership, Governance, and Inter-Departmental Silos: Who Owns the Definition of a Story Point?

Centralizing SDLC data across ten business units exposes a governance vacuum long before it delivers insight: seven competing "story point" scales, four business units with no named data owner, and a workflow taxonomy nobody was ever assigned to define. This isn't a GDPR problem — it's a political and technical negotiation over who owns what data, and who is accountable when a poorly maintained JIRA board quietly skews a portfolio-wide metric.
