The organization and management of the Data Management subsystem is described in LDM-294. See also the DM Org Chart.

Within DM, the major organization structure is into Lead Institutions/Teams. These are:

• Science Data Archive and Data Access Services (SLAC)
• Science Pipelines, comprising:
  • Alert Production (University of Washington)
  • Data Release Production (Princeton)
• International Communications and Base Site (NOAO)
• The LSST Data Facility (NCSA)
• Science User Interface and Tools (IPAC)
• Science Quality and Reliability Engineering (LSST/AURA)

The work of each team is coordinated by a Technical Manager (“T/CAM”) who is responsible to the DM Project Manager.

There are five primary coordinating bodies to ensure the management, technical, and quality integrity of the DM Subsystem.

• DM Leadership Team (DMLT)
• DM System Science Team (DM-SST)
• DM Systems Engineering Team (DM-SET)
• DM Change Control Board (DM-CCB; formerly the Technical Control Team)
• DM Science Validation Team (DM-SVT)

In addition, Working Groups may be formed and disbanded as needed.
