Without clear data lineage, multi-site AI programs risk compliance gaps, rework, and inconsistent model behavior.

The situation this course is for

As AI systems span multiple locations and departments, tracking data flow becomes fragmented. Manual tracking fails at scale. Inconsistent metadata, siloed ownership, and evolving regulatory expectations amplify risk. Teams spend more time validating data than acting on insights.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals responsible for AI governance, data operations, compliance, or technical oversight in multi-site or distributed programs.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused solely on model development, or for individuals seeking introductory data management concepts.

What you walk away with

  • Design and deploy scalable data lineage frameworks across distributed environments
  • Align data tracking with compliance and audit requirements across jurisdictions
  • Automate metadata capture and lineage documentation for AI workflows
  • Integrate lineage practices into CI/CD pipelines for AI and data systems
  • Lead cross-functional alignment on data governance standards across sites
