What is the Production-Grade Capability-Building Roadmaps course about?

Even high-performing audit functions struggle to move beyond point-in-time assessments. Without a systematic approach to capability development, teams face recurring inefficiencies, misalignment with engineering cycles, and difficulty demonstrating strategic impact. The gap isn't effort, it's architecture.
