• Definition of project structure: Setting roles, interfaces and the project's organizational structure.
• Regulatory requirements: Analysis of data privacy regulations and business requirements to define deletion criteria.
• Approach: Developing possible scenarios and methods for data cleansing and deletion.
• Deletion concepts: Creating functional and technical deletion concepts that structure the implementation and provide clear guidelines.
• Setting deletion criteria: Defining which data and structures to delete or transfer.
• Responsibilities: Clarifying responsibilities within the project team and among stakeholders.
• Analysis of ongoing activities: Identifying and collecting existing activities in the "data deletion" area.
• Effort, cost and timeline planning: Creating estimates for resources, effort and budget.
• Implementation initiatives: Developing and executing concrete measures to apply the defined deletion strategies.
• IT system efficiency: Analyzing the existing IT infrastructure to identify optimization potential for data deletion and transfer.
• Technology trends: Evaluating new technologies and tools that can support the data cleansing process.
