What is the Pragmatic AI Data Lineage Practices course about?
In fast-moving acquisition environments, legacy lineage approaches fail. Spreadsheets and static diagrams can't keep pace with real-time data flows across newly combined systems. Without automated, AI-augmented lineage, teams risk compliance gaps, integration debt, and extended time-to-value for acquired assets.
