What is the Board-Level Microservices Operating Models course about?
Even well-architected microservices fail to deliver board-level value when operating models lack standardization across sites. Without a unified approach, teams face duplicated effort, compliance gaps, and delayed time-to-value, especially under audit or expansion pressure.
