What is the Fix the Architecture Review Bottleneck course about?

You submit a design. Then silence. A week later, feedback arrives , incomplete, conflicting, or missing key stakeholder input. You revise. Resubmit. Then another round starts. This pattern repeats, delaying delivery, increasing rework, and eroding stakeholder trust. The bottleneck isn’t the design , it’s the review workflow. And it happens every major milestone, consuming time better spent on innovation or optimization.
