Even the most resilient product strategies fail when operational shocks hit without clear ownership
The situation this course is for
Product leaders are expected to maintain roadmap velocity during outages, vendor failures, and compliance incidents, but lack structured frameworks to make rapid, defensible continuity decisions. Many rely on tribal knowledge or escalate needlessly, slowing innovation.
Who this is for
Senior product strategy professionals in large tech firms operating under efficiency mandates, where speed and resilience are non-negotiable
Who this is not for
Entry-level PMs, solo founders, or consultants without direct ownership of product continuity decisions
What you walk away with
- Make final decisions on product roadmap adjustments during declared incidents
- Approve continuity test outcomes without escalation to senior leadership
- Define the scope of vendor disaster recovery compliance for product-facing systems
- Lead cross-functional continuity rehearsals with engineering and infrastructure teams
- Publish auditable business impact analyses that close review loops in one pass

If nothing changes
Without structured continuity ownership, product leaders default to over-escalation or reactive decisions, slowing innovation and exposing roadmaps to avoidable delays during infrastructure incidents.
How this compares to the alternatives
Generic ISO 22301 courses focus on operations or IT. This is tailored to product strategy leads who own roadmap continuity , with exact decision rights, evidence structures, and audit expectations for tech firms under efficiency pressure.
