What is the Data Platform Governance for Enterprise course about?

Senior data leaders spend hundreds of hours each quarter chasing down lineage gaps, inconsistent tagging, and access exceptions, especially when escalations arrive ahead of compliance deadlines. The burden intensifies when M&A integrations or cloud migrations expose new data pathways that legacy governance models don’t cover. Without a repeatable framework, these efforts become reactive scrambles rather than strategic advantages.
