Course Objective & Scope

Once an organisation has hundreds of tables and models, teams lose sight of which table is authoritative and which dashboards or AI models will break when a column changes. This programme teaches how to combine a data catalog, end-to-end lineage and data observability into a single operational control plane.

Setting up a catalog with OpenMetadata or DataHub, collecting column-level lineage via SQL AST parsing and OpenLineage, monitoring freshness/volume/distribution metrics and running root-cause analysis are practiced hands-on. Participants design a lineage/ownership model and an incident response workflow tailored to their own data landscape.

Who Should Attend?

  • Data platform and data engineering teams
  • Data governance specialists and data architects
  • AI engineers operating ML and RAG systems fed by multiple upstream sources
  • Prerequisite: SQL, modern warehouse/lakehouse concepts and basic pipeline knowledge

Key Takeaways

  • Catalog data assets with business glossary terms, tags, PII classification and ownership
  • Run upstream and downstream impact analysis using table- and column-level lineage
  • Monitor freshness, volume, schema and distribution metrics to catch anomalies before stakeholders do
  • Trace data incidents back to their root cause across the lineage graph
  • Design an internal data ownership and SLA alerting model
