Why this program matters

  • Without data lineage mastery, companies lose an average of 25% of time on debugging during data incidents, with poor-quality costs nearing 15% of the IT budget according to Gartner.

  • 68% of GDPR audits fail due to lack of traceability, exposing them to fines up to 4% of global revenue.

  • Data engineers without these skills see their employability drop 40% in 2024, while competitors optimize their pipelines 2x faster.

  • Every quarter without training widens a critical gap in data governance, risking loss of customer trust and missed opportunities.

Data Lineage training objectives

  • Master the fundamentals of data lineage for professional certification projects
  • Develop skills in tracing enterprise data flows
  • Design metadata to track data origins and transformations
  • Implement open source data lineage tools in a data environment
  • Optimize data governance through precise lineage mapping
  • Evaluate the business impact of data lineage on GDPR compliance and data quality

Data Lineage curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Data Lineage Fundamentals: Concepts and Business Importance (Metadata, Data Flows)

Dive into the basics of data lineage by exploring its definition, its crucial role in data governance and the risks of lacking traceability. Set up a test environment with Python and Pandas to visualize simple flows. Perform your first exercises on extracting metadata from SQL databases. Analyze real cases of companies affected by untraced data losses. Produce a first manual lineage map that will serve as the basis for the capstone project.

Module 2 : Data Lineage Modeling: Mapping Flows and Transformations (Diagrams, Visual Tools)

Learn to model data lineages by identifying sources, ETL processes and destinations. Use Mermaid and Draw.io to create interactive diagrams of complex data flows. Practice on real datasets from ETL pipelines like Apache Airflow. Integrate SQL and Python transformations into your mapping. Collaborate in pairs to audit a fictional company pipeline. Validate your models with consistency checks and export them in shareable formats for effective data governance.

Module 3 : Data Lineage Tools: Implementing OpenLineage and Marquez (Connectors, Automatic Capture)

Discover leading open source tools like OpenLineage and Marquez to automate lineage capture. Configure connectors with dbt and Spark on a local cluster. Generate automatic traces during real ETL executions. Explore the Marquez web interface to query and visualize data dependency graphs. Apply these tools to your capstone project by instrumenting a simple pipeline. Test resilience to schema changes and document configurations for production deployment.

Module 4 : Data Lineage Governance: GDPR Compliance and Data Quality (Audits, Monitoring)

Integrate data lineage into enterprise governance by aligning with GDPR and ISO 8000. Conduct compliance audits on sensitive flows with PII masking. Set up basic monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana to alert on lineage breaks. Analyze impact on data quality via freshness and completeness metrics. Adapt your capstone project to a real business scenario like financial reporting. Produce an audit report with actionable recommendations for data teams.

Module 5 : Data Lineage Project: Practical Cases and Deployment (Scalability, CI/CD Integration)

Finalize your capstone project by deploying a complete pipeline with automated data lineage on Docker. Integrate it into a CI/CD workflow via GitHub Actions for secure production deployment. Simulate data incident scenarios to test traceability. Present your solution to the group with a live demo and Q&A. Evaluate scalable performance on large volumes. Receive personalized feedback from the expert trainer and leave with a certification-ready portfolio for your professional CV.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Data Lineage training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
