12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Data lineage gaps in AI systems erode trust, slow audits, and complicate compliance, especially when teams are split across locations and systems.

The situation this course is for

As AI adoption accelerates, organizations struggle to maintain clear, auditable trails of data flow. Hybrid work adds complexity: tools, roles, and responsibilities are distributed, creating fragmentation in how data is tracked, owned, and governed. Without a structured approach, teams face rework, compliance delays, and loss of stakeholder confidence.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in data governance, compliance, engineering, IT, or risk management who operate in hybrid or distributed environments and are responsible for maintaining trustworthy AI systems.

Who this is not for

This course is not for executives seeking high-level overviews, vendors focused on tooling demos, or individuals without decision-making or implementation responsibilities in data or AI governance.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized framework for AI data lineage in hybrid team structures
  • Design traceable data flows that support audit readiness and regulatory compliance
  • Coordinate cross-functional ownership of data lineage across remote and in-office roles
  • Implement metadata governance practices that scale with AI deployment
  • Use templates and playbooks to accelerate rollout and reduce implementation risk
