What is the Enterprise-Class Operational Transparency course about?
As programs grow in scope and involve more teams, maintaining a single source of truth becomes harder. Status updates are inconsistent, decisions lack traceability, and governance feels reactive. This creates friction, rework, and compliance gaps, especially when auditors or executives ask for evidence of progress or control.
