What is the Delivery Velocity for Delivery Managers course about?
Delivery teams lose 30, 40% of velocity to misaligned kickoff assumptions, reactive stakeholder feedback, and last-minute scope corrections, especially under client review cycles. The cost isn't just time; it's eroded trust in delivery predictability.
