Data drift is real! I’ve recently restored sanity in a medium sized enterprise where there were three concurrent financial data flows. Including people not understanding each other, projects to find out ground truth and triple the workload in maintaining the dataflows. I’ve quipped to the team that endless summer is near. What if we only work on business relevant development. I would dream that the bigcorp we are part of would do the same. They are more of a tack on another Excel based solution kind of firm.
Data drift is real, and the yoke of governance chafes enough that new people insist on redoing your work in excel until the problem gets bad enough that a new data governance push is needed.
