Siloed data practices slow AI deployment and weaken audit readiness

The situation this course is for

As AI initiatives scale, teams struggle to maintain clear visibility into data origins, transformations, and ownership. Without robust lineage, compliance becomes reactive, debugging takes longer, and collaboration across functions breaks down. This leads to duplicated effort, governance gaps, and stalled innovation.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals leading or contributing to AI, data governance, compliance, or digital transformation initiatives in mid-to-large organizations

Who this is not for

Individuals seeking introductory data concepts or purely theoretical frameworks without implementation guidance

What you walk away with

  • Apply modern data lineage frameworks tailored to cross-functional AI programs
  • Implement end-to-end traceability from raw data to AI model output
  • Align data lineage practices with compliance, security, and engineering standards
  • Use templates and checklists to accelerate rollout across teams
  • Leverage the implementation playbook to operationalize lineage in real time
