What is the Cross-Functional Quality Management course about?
In established enterprises, quality is often siloed, engineering owns test coverage, compliance owns audit trails, and operations owns incident response. Without a unified approach, inconsistencies emerge, rework increases, and leadership loses visibility into true system health. This creates friction during audits, delays in product launches, and misalignment across transformation initiatives.
