Data governance in Planasonix connects discovery, contracts, lineage, impact analysis, and semantic definitions so producers and consumers share expectations. You reduce silent schema drift, speed up incident response, and give auditors a trail from source columns to dashboard metrics.

​
Pillars

Data catalog

Discover and document datasets your teams own.

Data contracts

Encode schemas and rules between producers and consumers.

Lineage

Trace transformations from source to destination.

Impact analysis

See downstream effects before you change schemas.

Semantic layer

Publish consistent metrics and dimensions for analytics tools.

​
How governance shows up in daily work

  • Analysts search the catalog instead of asking in chat which table is canonical.
  • Engineers attach contracts to pipelines so breaking changes fail CI or prod checks.
  • On-call uses lineage to find which dashboards broke when an upstream column disappeared.
  • Product managers review impact analysis before deprecating an event property.
Governance features vary by plan. Enterprise tiers include catalog and contracts; lineage and impact analysis may require Premium or Premium+ add-ons.

​
Roles and ownership

Assign data owners and stewards in your catalog entries. Pipeline repos should name on-call rotation contacts. Planasonix surfaces ownership in UI and APIs so permissions changes align with human accountability.

Next steps

1

Inventory critical datasets

Register high-value tables and streams in the catalog with descriptions and PII tags.
2

Attach contracts

Start with revenue, identity, and compliance-bound entities.
3

Enable lineage

Turn on lineage capture for pipelines that feed executive reporting.
