What is the Board-Level Refactoring Strategy Programs course about?
Leaders in regulated industries often face misalignment between engineering teams, compliance officers, and board expectations. Technical debt accumulates, audit cycles lengthen, and transformation programs stall because there’s no unified strategy for refactoring at scale. Without a board-aligned framework, even high-performing teams struggle to demonstrate governance-grade progress.
