Could you please flesh out the definition. It sounds quite strange: function is a function…
Especially it is difficult to understand in the context of DM Strategy.
– Strategy is a set of capabilities
– Strategy is a function
– Strategy is a document
– Strategy is a function with DMO…
So, what is a strategy and what is a function?…
E.g in ITIL Function is defined as “a team or group of people and the tools they use to carry out one or more processes or activities.” – It is more or less clear. From this perspective DMO is a function, data quality could be a function, but not a strategy.
In DCAM “function” is an ambiguous and confusing term.

Our glossary definition is… “An operational function of the organization (e.g., data quality function)”. I agree that is circular.
I am not sure I would agree with the inclusion of “and the tools they use” in the ITIL definition. I would propose…
“A team or organisation grouping of people with responsibility for a defined set of processes and activities”.
I agree that “strategy” is not a function. However “Strategic Planning Unit” would be.
