Friends,
I've been asked to run a workgroup for a data related project. How do i run it. Any links / recommendations would be helpful.

The audience will include SMEs, members from different teams and analysts.

thanks.

You need to provide more information. Virtually any project is data related.

Let me rephrase. For a project, which is data centric, I've been asked to organize workgroup meetings. What all are the protocols I need to follow as a PM.

You have to stay clear about the diffence between data and information. I can put here a lot but go for Shannon´s "Mathematical Theory of Communication". With that on hand to create the environment go for Data Warehousing theory which belongs to 90 and before. With that on hand, I will say that knowledge are the pillar for strategy and mainly is on of the pillars of Agile. Think about knolwedge management system (where system is not software system) to be successful and to add value to the organization

"Data centric" can mean just about anything. Storage, retrieval, analytics, protection, visualization, input, transmission...

When faced with a question regarding how to manage a team who is tasked to do something with a product that could be used for anything, I would have to defer to the great works of Douglas Adams:

The answer is 42.

On a more serious note, it's like any other work group. You share new information, review progress to plan, assign new work, review future work at different time periods as it makes sense, review RIO, elicit feedback from the team, celebrate successes, recognize achievements, etc. The difference is just the underlying work.
