What is the ISO 20000 for Senior Data Engineers course about?

Data engineers often implement change controls without clear authority to approve or reject. This leads to delays, escalations, and diluted ownership, even when they have the right judgment. The gap isn’t technical skill, it’s formalised framework grounding that gives cover to make calls independently.
