Let’s face it, data debt is real, and it is killing your productivity!
Every hacky pipeline, missing contract, and “we’ll fix it later” adds to your data debt — and like tech debt, the interest is brutal. Broken dashboards, skyrocketing costs, and late-night firefighting are holding your team and data back from scaling and delivering value.
In this session, we’ll dive into real-world governance strategies like data contracts, semantic layers, and treating data as a product, showing how they can help cut costs, boost quality, and get ahead of your data problems.
What you’ll learn:
- How to stop data chaos at the source instead of endlessly cleaning up
- Why data contracts and semantic layers are your best friends
- How small governance tweaks can cut costs and improve data quality
- How to make data governance practical for engineers
Packed with hands-on strategies, this session will help you build smarter — not firefight.
