I’ve been deeply involved in implementing data lineage using several technologies throughout my career, but things are different now.
One practical difference is that now I do advisory work for data leaders. They expect input on their priorities and strategy, so I need reasoned opinions based on value, opportunity cost, and organizational maturity. This means I concentrate more on the strategic picture while not losing touch with what can be accomplished tactically.
