Build a plain-language, no-code foundation for data governance as a business discipline. You'll define what governance is, distinguish it from data management and security, connect it to business value, build shared vocabulary, preview governance roles, and reframe the myths that stall adoption — creating a trusted business definition and a stakeholder map along the way.

Course 2

Operating Data Governance in Everyday Work

5 lessons

15 practices

Turn governance concepts into working practice. You'll assign data ownership and stewardship, clarify decision rights with RACI, translate principles into workable standards, curate catalog records, and trace business lineage — establishing a simple operating rhythm that keeps governance alive in everyday work, all without any code.

I love that it's personalized. When I'm stuck, I don't have to hope my Google searches come out successful. The AI mentor Cosmo knows exactly what I need.

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
