Build a security and access model for data lineage tracking appropriate to the sensitivity of the data involved.
Building Data Lineage Tracking Systems for Full Transparency
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run data lineage tracking properly.
Course Overview
Vendors sell data lineage tracking as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Boards are asking for measurable returns from this strand of digital and data-driven work, not demonstrations. Organisations that document this aspect of digital and data-driven work properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Plans for data lineage tracking often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants test their assumptions about the practice within digital and data-driven work against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It treats this area of digital and data-driven work as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants finish able to explain data lineage tracking to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The content is relevant to those who own this part of digital and data-driven work and to those who are held accountable for its results. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider digital and data-driven work agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
