What is the Cross-Functional Quality Management course about?

In regulated environments, quality is often owned in fragments, testing in engineering, compliance in legal, risk in audit. This leads to duplicated efforts, audit surprises, and delayed releases. The lack of a unified framework slows delivery and increases operational risk.
