Data Product Documentation

Data Product Documentation is the structured, user-friendly guide that explains what a data product is, what problem it solves, how to use it, and how it works under the hood. It covers everything from definitions and data sources to schemas, SLAs, ownership, and update cadence: ensuring that users can trust, adopt, and build on the data product with confidence. Good documentation reduces support load, speeds up onboarding, and drives product adoption.
