What is the Compliance-Ready Developer Experience course about?

As organizations grow through acquisition, developer workflows often become fragmented. Inconsistent tooling, undocumented processes, and compliance gaps create friction during integration, slowing time-to-value and increasing operational risk. Without a standardized, compliance-ready foundation, engineering velocity stalls just when speed is most critical.
