What is the Pragmatic AI Data Lineage Practices course about?
As AI adoption accelerates, risk-averse leadership teams are asking harder questions about data origins, transformation integrity, and audit readiness. Traditional lineage approaches fall short when they lack business context, compliance mapping, or board-level communication frameworks. This gap delays deployment, increases scrutiny, and exposes teams to reputational and regulatory risk , not because the technology fails, but because the story around it doesn’t.
