Are you tired of data governance that feels like red tape instead of real impact?
Most organizations still treat governance as a compliance checklist—something to slow down innovation, not accelerate it. Meanwhile, business leaders keep asking: “Where’s the ROI from all this data?”
This course introduces Minimum Lovable Governance (MLG), a modern approach designed specifically for data products.
Instead of endless rules and policies, you’ll learn how to embed just enough governance to deliver trust, quality, and business value—without killing agility.
What you’ll discover inside:
- How to shift from managing data as an asset to delivering data as a product.
- Practical frameworks like the Open Data Product Specification (ODPS) that bring governance to life.
- How to automate SLAs, data quality, and compliance checks as code.
- Clear methods to measure business outcomes, not just technical outputs.
- Tools and templates you can apply immediately in your own organization.
- Terraforming Data Product Governance book
