The main problem with #DDW monitoring is there’s too much noise and too little structure

Unpopular opinion: most orgs are failing at DDW monitoring not because they lack access to the right forums or tools, but because they lack structure around what they collect and why.

You end up with a mess of screenshots, bookmarks, and unverified claims that feel productive but go nowhere.

Mary D'Angelo from Filigran wrote a solid breakdown of how to fix this. The core argument is that structure matters more than access: this includes repeatable collection processes, a shared data model, and governance documents.

She also dropped two free templates (Collection Policy + SOP) you can adapt for your own team, which is pretty useful if you're building maturing your DDW program.
