DORA implementation spreads across silos, but ownership remains unclear, slowing progress

The situation this course is for

Teams are scrambling to align under DORA's timeline, but without clear leadership, the project stalls at handoff points. Evidence isn't collected systematically, control owners hesitate, and auditors see gaps. The risk isn't compliance, it's becoming known as the team that can't coordinate across divisions.

Who this is for

Project Manager Leads in large financial institutions facing DORA deadlines with cross-line-of-business scope

Who this is not for

Individuals focused only on technical IT controls or isolated compliance teams without cross-functional delivery goals

What you walk away with

  • Own the end-to-end DORA implementation plan across multiple business units
  • Delegate control ownership with confidence using pre-built responsibility matrices
  • Produce audit-ready documentation packs in half the time
  • Lead cross-functional readiness sessions with structured agendas and decision logs
  • Anticipate and resolve inter-departmental friction before it stalls evidence collection
