What is the Fixing Network Validation Bottlenecks Before course about?

Every network change triggers a manual validation cycle that stalls deployment, consumes 3+ hours of peer review, and creates friction between engineering and oversight teams. The process repeats identically regardless of change severity, and documentation is rebuilt from scratch each time. Automation attempts stall because templates don't map to real-world edge cases in hybrid environments.
