What is the Audit-Tested Organizational Resilience course about?
As teams scale rapidly, informal processes that once worked become liabilities. Audits reveal gaps not from malice but misalignment, between engineering velocity, compliance expectations, and operational clarity. The result? Last-minute fire drills, reprioritized roadmaps, and eroded stakeholder trust.
