What is the Fix the Monthly IT Reporting Crunch course about?

Every month, the same pattern repeats: data pulls from mismatched sources, spreadsheets break during consolidation, stakeholders request changes after review starts, and the entire cycle runs late, again. You end up doing rework instead of improvement work. This isn’t about strategy, it’s about surviving the repeatable calendar-driven deliverable that never gets better, despite effort. The pressure to do more with less makes.
