High-Velocity Governance for Modern Data Teams
Join us for a practical, real-world walkthrough of data model governance in action. This session is designed for distributed teams who need to move fast while maintaining standards, clarity, and control.
What we'll cover:
- What “high-velocity governance” means in modern data teams
- Data ownership, standards enforcement
- Live demo: governing data models inside the workflow (versioning, review, impact visibility)
- Q&A + real-world examples / use cases
We’ll show how modern teams enforce design-time guardrails, establish ownership and domains, capture documentation and metadata where it stays current, and manage change through versioning, impact visibility, and review workflows.
Whether your organization is building a governance program from scratch or working alongside tools like Collibra or Alation, this session focuses on making governance operational, scalable, and engineer-friendly.
What you’ll learn:
- How to enforce standards early (before PR review or production) so models stay consistent as teams scale
- How to make ownership clear across shared datasets so changes don’t turn into guesswork
- How to document intent inside the workflow so definitions don’t drift into stale wikis
- How to safely manage change with visibility into what’s impacted before you ship
- How to reduce rework and churn caused by inconsistent patterns, duplicated logic, and unclear conventions
- How to operationalize governance without slowing delivery so speed and control aren’t tradeoffs
