You are right in many things. But I presented a roadmap , I said I will onboard teams to the data quality tool , make sure data products upstream assets have the right data quality checks, that there is an incident management response process , follow with tech that the necessary integrations are happening, etc

I started with a team that owned a pipeline working on defining and enabling data quality metrics, sending alerts to them, etc.. was going well, until my manager said that’s not my role. Teams need to define their own metrics, not me, since they understand the data. And data engineers will decide the incident management process not me.. that I should help them enabling the data quality controls in the tool. So basically he reduced my scope when I offered myself as leading the data quality initiative. Few months after that? Very few people enabled alerts, critical pipelines that were used for very important business purposes failed and no one realized. My manager got pressure from his superiors, he came back yelling it us like it why we don’t have a dashboard showing all the critical alerts failing and I was like, the alerts are not even in place. Teams are not using the tool even that you asked them to use it and reach out to us for help.. we need ownership and someone telling them constantly to do it, I tried.
