What is the Engineering Change Management course about?
Engineering change isn't just documentation, it's coordination, timing, and control under pressure. Many teams have a process on paper, but struggle when changes cascade across systems, suppliers, or compliance boundaries. Without rigorous implementation design, even small changes introduce risk, delay projects, or trigger regulatory scrutiny.
