Why this course

the firm announced a 10% headcount reduction in its India delivery unit this month, and the pressure is already filtering down to your team. Your ETL jobs are juggling fragmented source schemas, manual mapping spreadsheets, and ad-hoc Power BI dashboards while senior leadership demands faster release cycles. Every missed SLA or data-quality exception now risks being counted against the new productivity targets, and the cost of rework is eating into your department's budget.

The current toolkit consists of scattered Informatica mappings, a handful of Excel logs, and a legacy BOE report that no one trusts. Stakeholders, product owners, underwriters, and the compliance office, request evidence of data lineage, yet you spend hours stitching together logs after each sprint. If the next quarterly review surfaces another gap, the whole data-management function could be flagged for further cuts.

What you walk away with

A reusable ETL design pattern library that cuts mapping time by 40%.
A live Power BI data-quality dashboard that surfaces anomalies before they hit production.
A documented data lineage register that satisfies compliance audits in one click.
A stakeholder communication playbook that aligns underwriters and IT on delivery expectations.
A sprint-ready intake form that streamlines new source onboarding.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Mapping the Source Landscape

78% of insurance ETL failures trace back to undocumented source changes. The module walks through a real-time discovery session with your data owners, capturing schema versions and change windows. You finish with a populated Source Catalog ready for the next sprint. Output: Source Catalog sits in your drive.

Module 2. Designing Reusable Mapping Templates

During Monday's sprint kickoff you notice the same transformation logic repeated across three new feeds. This module shows how to abstract that logic into a parameterised Informatica template. By the end you have a Mapping Template library that can be dropped into any new job. What you ship from this module: Mapping Template library.

Module 3. Automating Data-Quality Checks

A stakeholder asks, "How do we know the premium totals are correct before the nightly load?" The answer is a Power BI quality dashboard built from automated row-count and checksum jobs. You create the dashboard and embed alerts for deviations. The deliverable is Data-Quality Dashboard ready for daily monitoring.

Module 4. Building a Data Lineage Register

By module end Data Lineage Register sits in your drive, providing a single source of truth for auditors and underwriters alike.

Module 5. Standardising Intake Forms

Your weekly intake meetings generate endless email threads and missing fields. This module creates a structured Intake Form that captures business rules, source owners, and SLA expectations. The finished form reduces onboarding time by half. Output: Intake Form ready for the next intake cycle.

Module 6. Optimising Load Performance

The finance lead is pressuring you to shave 30 minutes off nightly loads. Using a real-world performance profiling session, you identify bottlenecks and apply partitioning and push-down predicates. The result is a Load Performance Report that proves the improvement. Sitting at the end of this module: Load Performance Report.

Module 7. Creating a Stakeholder Communication Playbook

When the CFO asks for quarterly data-pipeline health, you need a concise briefing. This module crafts a playbook that maps stakeholder concerns to specific artefacts, dashboards, registers, and SLA reports. You leave with a Communication Playbook that can be reused each quarter. The deliverable is Stakeholder Communication Playbook.

Module 8. Implementing Incremental Loads

A data-volume spike last week caused a full reload that took 12 hours. The module demonstrates how to shift to incremental CDC loads using Informatica change-data capture. By the end you have an Incremental Load Design Document ready for deployment. Output: Incremental Load Design Document.

Module 9. Establishing a Governance Cadence

Your team currently meets ad-hoc when issues arise. This module defines a bi-weekly governance meeting agenda, roles, and KPI tracking sheet. You finish with a Governance Calendar that aligns with the insurance compliance calendar. What you ship from this module: Governance Calendar.

Module 10. Building a Runbook for Incident Response

When a load fails at 2 AM, the on-call engineer scrambles for logs. This module creates a step-by-step Runbook that lists log locations, restart commands, and escalation contacts. You end with an Incident Response Runbook that cuts mean-time-to-resolve in half. Output: Incident Response Runbook.

Module 11. Designing a Cost-to-Serve Dashboard

The head of operations wants visibility into ETL cost drivers. Using Power BI you build a Cost-to-Serve Dashboard that ties compute usage to business units. The dashboard is ready for the next executive review. The deliverable is Cost-to-Serve Dashboard.

Module 12. Packaging the Evidence Pack

Stakeholders need a single packet that proves data quality, lineage, and performance before the next quarterly audit. This module assembles all artefacts, registers, dashboards, reports, into a polished Evidence Pack. By module end Evidence Pack sits in your drive, ready for the audit committee. Output: Evidence Pack.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Module 1 covers Mapping the Source Landscape , exactly the discovery sprint you run when new insurance feeds arrive each month.

Module 5 covers Standardising Intake Forms , the exact bottleneck you hit during weekly intake meetings that generate endless email threads.

Module 9 covers Establishing a Governance Cadence , the missing rhythm that forces you to react to issues instead of preventing them.

Before and after

Before

Your ETL team currently juggles a patchwork of Informatica mappings, Excel change logs, and a stale BOE report. Evidence lives in email threads, data-quality alerts are discovered after the fact, and every audit request forces a scramble to re-create lineage diagrams. The lack of a unified dashboard means leadership cannot see where bottlenecks or rework are occurring, leading to missed SLA penalties and heightened scrutiny after the recent headcount cuts.

After

After the course, you maintain a single Source Catalog, a live Power BI quality dashboard, and a complete Data Lineage Register that updates automatically. Weekly governance meetings run on a shared calendar, and the Evidence Pack is ready for any audit or leadership review. Stakeholders receive concise KPI reports, and you can demonstrate measurable efficiency gains that protect your team from further reductions.

What happens if you do not address this

If you postpone this work, the next quarterly review will expose another data-quality breach, prompting senior management to flag your function for further downsizing. Without a consolidated evidence pack, the audit committee will demand a costly external review, draining budget and credibility.

Who it is for

You are a mid-level manager responsible for designing, building, and maintaining ETL pipelines that feed insurance underwriting and claims analytics. Your day is split between sprint planning, stakeholder syncs, and firefighting data-quality alerts, while you also juggle reporting to senior delivery leads and the finance team.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a beginner introduction to basic SQL or Power BI fundamentals.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal rework and reporting.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2,500 to map your ETL landscape, a generic compliance certification costs $1,200, and building the same artefacts yourself would take 60+ hours of sprint time. At $199 you get a proven framework and ready-to-use assets that pay for themselves within the first month.
