Summary and Next Steps
Foundation Setup is the critical groundwork that enables rapid, consistent ETL development and subject-area scaling. By completing all three steps—mapping, metadata population, and code generation—you establish a solid foundation for evolving the canonical model across multiple subject areas. The metadata-driven core ensures that new subject areas can be onboarded without architectural changes.
Key Outcomes from Foundation Setup:
- Complete understanding of client data (Interface Mapping Document)
- Fully configured metadata driving all downstream processes (integration, ETL, DQ, lineage)
- Generated, tested ETL code ready for optimization and refinement
- Foundation for rapid scaling to additional subject areas
- Consistent, standardized patterns across all implementations
Next Steps:
- Review and approve all Foundation Setup deliverables
- Obtain business sign-off on Interface Mapping Document and generated code
- Transition to Phase 2 (ETL Development and Optimization)
- Begin refining and optimizing generated code for performance and robustness
- Plan next subject area onboarding using Foundation Setup 3-step approach
