Design a scalable data governance framework balancing autonomy and control
WHAT IT TESTS: Federated governance balancing autonomy with interop via policy. OUTLINE: Self-serve platform with domain products, auto-catalog, schema contracts, and policy-as-code access in CI/CD. RED FLAG: Centralized manual approval of schemas and access.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you can implement federated computational governance to decentralize data ownership while maintaining interoperability through automated policies. ANSWER OUTLINE: Establish domain-oriented data products on a self-serve platform that provides an automated data catalog, a schema registry with breaking-change detection, and policy-as-code access controls embedded in CI/CD pipelines. RED FLAG: Proposing a monolithic central data team that manually reviews every schema change and access request, creating a bottleneck.
