Data lineage maps how data moves and transforms across systems — from operational sources through pipelines to reports, APIs, and models.
When something breaks, lineage shortens time-to-root-cause. When you change a field, lineage shows who will feel the impact.
Technical vs business lineage
Technical lineage follows tables, columns, jobs, and transformations. Business lineage connects those assets to products, KPIs, and decisions people care about.
Together they make complex estates understandable — a prerequisite for trustworthy analytics and AI.
