What is the Pragmatic Data Quality Programs course about?
As teams grow more distributed, inconsistent data practices create hidden technical debt, impede compliance readiness, and delay product iterations. Traditional top-down data governance often fails to adapt quickly enough, while ad-hoc approaches lead to duplication and confusion. The gap lies in pragmatic, human-centered frameworks that balance rigor with flexibility.
