Data Pipeline Visibility
The ability to monitor, trace, and understand data flows across all stages of a pipeline — from ingestion to consumption — including dependencies, transformations, and downstream impacts.
Key Insights:
- The Farah Jama Principle: AI/data initiatives fail when lacking “whole-of-case visibility” (mirroring forensic science’s Farah Jama case), requiring understanding of both upstream and downstream processes beyond isolated segments AI Project Transparency
- Organizations treat pipelines like traditional IT projects, ignoring end-to-end traceability leading to opaque failures
- Visibility must include data lineage, schema evolution, and real-time impact assessment
