What you'll learn

Enterprise data moves across teams, systems, and business domains. Without clear coordination, each team may optimize its own work while the organization as a whole ends up with duplicate records, conflicting definitions, missing lineage, unclear ownership, and slow decision-making. In this course, Coordinating Enterprise Data across Teams and Domains, you'll gain the ability to coordinate data responsibilities and decisions across the enterprise. First, you'll explore how enterprise data responsibilities are distributed across business, technical, governance, and platform teams. Next, you'll discover how to evaluate ownership, stewardship, and decision-making models, including centralized, federated, and domain-oriented approaches, as well as how to align standards, definitions, metadata, and lineage across domains so teams can reuse and trust shared data. Finally, you'll learn how to recommend coordination practices such as governance councils, working groups, data contracts, stewardship workflows, and review processes.

When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of enterprise data coordination needed to clarify responsibilities, reduce cross-team confusion, and recommend practical coordination mechanisms for shared enterprise data initiatives.
