What is the Audit-Tested Continuous Improvement course about?
Distributed teams invest heavily in retrospectives, metrics, and process tweaks, yet when auditors ask for proof, most struggle to show continuity, causality, or compliance alignment. This gap leads to rework, deferred initiatives, and eroded trust in continuous improvement itself.
