Benefits of Data Lineage for Better Data Quality

Data lineage is the record of the movement of data from its origin to its end destination, providing valuable information about where the data came from, how it was transformed, and where it is being stored. Both forward and backward lineage offer value in understanding the flow of data. Automated data lineage improves data governance, speeds up issue resolution, enhances data quality, promotes better collaboration and communication among teams, and supports machine learning applications. Proper data observability relies on data lineage, ensuring transparency into data flow and reducing the risk of errors.
