In this episode of the Agile Data N’ Info Podcast, host Shane Gibson sits down with Tomas Kratky, founder of Manta and a software engineer with over two decades of experience helping large enterprises master data lineage.
In this episode, the conversation explores the intricate world of data lineage and the shift toward active metadata. Tomas explains how lineage should move beyond just simple traceability or the mere collection of data to focus on “design lineage,” giving organizations full visibility into all possible system dependencies to enable safe and agile change management. By focusing on integrating and activating metadata, companies can embed insights directly into users’ daily workflows rather than relying on massive, often empty, centralized data catalogs.
The discussion also dives deep into the complexities of mapping metadata across diverse enterprise architectures, clarifying the immense challenge of parsing everything from custom SQL grammar to Excel sheets and legacy SAS macros. Tomas breaks down how automated, detailed lineage can unlock powerful use cases, such as proactively alerting users of data quality drops or significantly reducing compute costs by identifying and decommissioning unused data pipelines.
Whether you are curious about why lineage is often relegated to a feature rather than a standalone category, how the industry’s obsession with data self-service overlooks the “silver service” needs of everyday business users, or want to learn about the ongoing challenges facing open metadata sharing standards, this episode is packed with valuable insights for data professionals.

Join Shane and Tammy Leahy as they discuss the Information Product Canvas, what each area of the canvas holds and why you would want to collect this information.
Following up on their previous discussion about what information products are, this episode takes a deep dive into the Information Product Canvas.
Inspired by the traditional business model canvas and Lawrence Corr’s BEAM methodology, the Information Product Canvas evolved from lengthy Word documents into a highly visual tool designed to establish boundaries and scope for data projects. Rather than acting as a locked-in requirements document, the canvas serves as a powerful conversation starter that creates a shared language between development teams and stakeholders.
In this episode, Shane and Tammy break down the key components of the canvas, guiding you through exactly how to use it. You will learn about:
Outcomes and Actions: Defining the measurable business value and the specific actions stakeholders will take once they have the data.
Business Questions: Identifying the top 3-5 “how,” “what,” and “who” questions the information product needs to answer.
Personas and Delivery Type: Pinpointing exactly who is consuming the information (e.g., data analysts, chief revenue officers) and how they expect it delivered, whether via a dashboard, API, or report.
Core Business Events: Mapping out key business processes (like a customer placing an order or returning a product) to understand complexity and necessary data entities.
User Stories and Will/Won’t: Setting strict boundaries on what features, functions, and data will—and won’t—be included in the current iteration to prevent scope creep.
Vision Statement: Crafting a short, sharp elevator pitch that communicates the product’s core purpose, target user, and how it improves the current state.
Ultimately, this episode highlights how using the canvas can help organizations prioritize work based on value rather than just cost, while empowering stakeholders to self-service their own data requests.
This is the second in a series of podcast episodes that deep dives into the Information Product  pattern.
