What is the Production-Grade Capability-Building Roadmaps course about?

Even well-resourced programs fail when capabilities are built in isolation. Engineering advances ahead of compliance, product launches outpace training, or IT systems can’t support new workflows. These gaps aren’t due to individual failure, they stem from roadmaps that lack cross-functional integrity and operational fidelity.
