Organisations often underestimate the data needs of AI agents. For business leaders looking to begin their agentic AI journey, this research will help ensure timely access, unified availability, clear context, and strong governance.

It helps to remove the uncertainty surrounding a project involving new technologies and sets you up for success, preventing failed or underperforming initiatives. 

Gartner Agentic AI Checklist

Included are recommendations for:

  • Implementing rigorous, use-case-specific data readiness checks for every AI agent or agentic workflow to prevent errors - such as deploying agents outside their intended context or overlooking data drift, which can undermine reliability and outcomes.
  • Aligning data delivery infrastructure to the latency, frequency and autonomy needs of agentic AI by investing in integrated platforms that provide seamless, secure access to all relevant data sources.
  • Enhancing metadata management and data lineage practices to ensure agents have the context and provenance needed for accurate, trustworthy decisions.
  • Strengthening data governance, access controls, observability and automated governance to secure contextual data governance and mitigate new risks introduced by autonomous systems.
