What is the Implementation-Focused Developer Experience course about?

Even with increased funding and attention, public-sector technology initiatives often stall due to poor developer experience. Teams face redundant processes, unclear ownership, and tools that don't interoperate, leading to delays, compliance gaps, and burnout. The challenge isn't ambition; it's execution infrastructure.
