What is the Audit-Tested Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Multi-site programs often evolve reactively, leading to inconsistent practices, duplicated efforts, and audit vulnerabilities. Traditional governance lags behind delivery, and product-led teams struggle to align with compliance requirements. Without a structured operating model, teams face rework, failed audits, and stalled growth, despite strong individual performance.
