What is the COBIT for Data Engineers in AI-Driven course about?

Without a recognized governance framework, even technically sound decisions can be dismissed in cross-functional reviews. Engineers often find their designs questioned not because they’re flawed, but because they can’t quickly cite standards, control objectives, or enterprise alignment. This leads to rework, eroded influence, and missed opportunities to lead.
