What is the Board-Level Developer Experience Foundations course about?
In regulated sectors, developer workflows often operate in isolation from board-level priorities. This disconnect leads to audit surprises, delayed releases, and strained trust between technical and executive teams. Practitioners lack a unified framework to demonstrate how developer experience directly supports governance, risk, and compliance outcomes.
