Quickly communicating [data lineage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_lineage) to other stakeholders in our organization has become increasingly difficult as we scale.

What are effective strategies to address this and keep it maintained?

An example would be customer data that is stored in a data warehouse, processed in various ways, and used for analysis and reporting. The audience would be members of the business intelligence and analytics teams as well as product managers. The data lineage can change as developers add or modify the code.
