Data lineage has become a daily demand. However, it remains an abstract, unknown concept for many stakeholders. The implementation is complex and resource consuming. Usage of data lineage remains a challenge in “business as usual” operations. During this 2-day training, we discuss and elaborate on the practical aspects of building a successful data lineage business case. We focus on delivering artifacts and documents that later can be used by participants in their real practices.
