Compliance teams often inherit engineering metrics that lack context, consistency, or audit integrity, leading to rework, misalignment, and control gaps.

The situation this course is for

Even in mature organizations, engineering metrics are frequently treated as technical artifacts rather than governance instruments. This creates friction between development velocity and compliance rigor. Leaders are expected to interpret inconsistent data, defend control positions without traceability, and align cross-functional teams without shared definitions. The result is delayed audits, reactive reporting, and missed opportunities to influence system design upstream.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, risk leaders, and governance professionals in technology-driven or regulated industries who engage with engineering teams and need to understand, influence, and validate engineering performance through reliable, implementation-grade metrics.

Who this is not for

This course is not for software engineers looking to build dashboards, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews. It is designed for compliance professionals who must operationalize engineering metrics within control frameworks.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized framework to evaluate and select engineering metrics with compliance integrity
  • Map engineering KPIs to control objectives and audit requirements
  • Integrate metric collection into SDLC and change management workflows
  • Communicate engineering performance to technical and non-technical stakeholders with precision
  • Build and maintain a living metrics playbook aligned with evolving system and regulatory demands
