What is the Fix the Control Reporting Bottleneck course about?

Every reporting cycle, innovation leaders manually pull data from Jira, Confluence, and audit logs to rebuild control dashboards. Versions drift, stakeholders question accuracy, and last-minute changes break formatting. The process consumes 15, 20 hours monthly and still feels unreliable. This course eliminates the rebuild by teaching how to create a single source of truth that auto-populates stakeholder-specific outputs.
