What is the Faster Path from Automation Intent course about?

Engineers spend too much time reworking automation flows because early design decisions weren't aligned with deployment reality. Handoffs between teams create delays. Testing reveals gaps that should have been caught earlier. The result: longer cycles, more revisions, and slower time-to-value.
