Hello everyone I’m Iliass, a 2nd-year Computer Science engineering student specializing in Data Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. I’m interested in data governance, data management, and building reliable data systems that support business decisions and AI. Currently looking for a data-related internship or apprenticeship. Happy to connect and learn from this community

One of the biggest data problems is not lack of data. It’s lack of understanding. When teams don’t know what data means, where it comes from, or how it should be used, trust breaks down and AI becomes risky. I’ve just added a new resource to the classroom: Metadata & Lineage Starter Map This template helps you: - clarify business definitions, - map data flows end to end, - reduce misinterpretation, - build explainable and reusable data foundations. You can access it now in the Data Governance from Scratch classroom. As always, start small and focus on impact.

We just hit a major milestone: 400 members in the Data Governance Circle! When I started this group, the goal was simple: to prove that Data Governance isn't just about bureaucracy or "blocking" projects—it’s about building trust, enabling AI, and turning data into a real strategic asset. Seeing 400 professionals, leaders, and learners sharing templates, asking tough questions, and growing together proves that the "Data-First" movement is stronger than ever. What’s next? As we grow, I’m committed to bringing even more practical resources and frameworks to the Classroom to help you master the art of trusted data. Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s keep building! Question for you: What is the #1 data governance challenge you want us to solve together this month? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Hey team! 👋 I am putting the final touches on the "CDMP Accelerator: Pass in 4 Weeks course". My goal is simple: turn this 600-page monster (the DMBOK) into a clear battle plan to get certified in under a month. But to make this surgical, I don't want to guess. I want to build exactly what you need right now. To help me calibrate the content (More basics? More exam traps? More strategy?), please tell me honestly where you are in your CDMP journey: 👇 Click the option that matches your current status:

Growth isn't just about collecting data; it’s about mastering how it’s governed. To help you sharpen that edge, I’m giving away a digital copy of @Charlotte Ledoux 's "Data Governance Framework"—the essential blueprint for anyone serious about building a scalable data culture. 📖 Can’t wait for the draw?
