What is the Production-Grade Crisis Decision Frameworks course about?

Distributed teams face unique challenges when time-sensitive decisions must be made across time zones, systems, and trust boundaries. Without structured frameworks, response efforts become reactive, fragmented, and difficult to audit. The cost isn't just downtime, it's erosion of stakeholder trust and operational agility.
