What is the Cross-Functional Cloud Migration Strategy course about?
Public-sector cloud migrations often involve overlapping mandates, distributed ownership, and high scrutiny. Without a unified strategy, teams face delays, rework, and audit exposure, even when technical execution is sound. The challenge isn’t the cloud platform; it’s aligning engineering, security, procurement, and mission leadership around a shared roadmap.
