Frequently asked questions

What is traceability and genealogy in manufacturing?

Traceability tracks parts from supplier to customer, while genealogy proves which material went into which product. Together they rely on consistent identifiers and connected systems. · From the episode: Traceability and Genealogy

Where do traceability gaps usually occur?

At system handoffs, where identifiers or records do not connect. The episode suggests asking which handoff has the weakest evidence and may still need a manual check. · From the episode: Traceability and Genealogy

What happens when a traceability link cannot be proven?

Additional units can remain under investigation with stock held until evidence supports release or exclusion. · From the episode: Traceability and Genealogy

What is compliance gravity?

It is the episode's term for the pull of compliance, auditability and traceability requirements that keeps regulated enterprises on Azure DevOps. · From the episode: Azure DevOps in 2026

How does AI change the need for DevOps governance?

Modern AI applications require continuous evaluation, approval workflows and traceability, which raises the importance of disciplined source control, pipelines and security. · From the episode: Azure DevOps in 2026
