12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Without clear data lineage, AI systems risk audit failure, operational fragility, and loss of stakeholder trust, even when models perform well.

The situation this course is for

As AI systems move into core operations, leaders face growing demands for transparency. Regulatory expectations, internal audit requirements, and cross-functional collaboration all depend on knowing where data originates, how it transforms, and who governs it. Traditional ad-hoc tracking methods collapse under complexity, leading to rework, compliance gaps, and delayed deployments.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in established enterprises, data stewards, AI governance leads, compliance officers, enterprise architects, and risk managers, who are responsible for deploying or overseeing AI systems with accountability and durability.

Who this is not for

This course is not for startup founders managing lightweight AI tools, individual data scientists building isolated models, or professionals focused solely on machine learning engineering without governance or compliance responsibilities.

What you walk away with

  • Design and implement end-to-end AI data lineage frameworks aligned with enterprise governance standards
  • Integrate lineage practices into existing data governance and AI development lifecycles
  • Produce auditable documentation and metadata trails for regulatory and internal review
  • Coordinate cross-functional alignment between data, compliance, security, and AI teams
  • Deploy scalable templates and playbooks that reduce future implementation timelines
