What is the Audit-Tested Automation-at-Scale Programs course about?
Automation initiatives often stall when they encounter governance gates. Teams either slow to a crawl to meet documentation standards or push forward without alignment, creating rework and exposure during audits. The gap between engineering velocity and compliance expectations widens, especially under board-level oversight.
