Did not find much documentation on atlas Lineage and Impact, according to this ppt Apache Atlas: Governance for your Data, seems Lineage is the source of the process, while impact is the destination of the process, am I understanding the concepts right ?

You are correct. When you look at the lineage graph, anything leading up to the entity in consideration (which is highlighted in red) is called "lineage". "Impact" is how that particular entity influences others down the graph.
