What is the COBIT for Data Engineering Leaders course about?
Most engineers implement controls as mandates from above. But senior practitioners like Bavitha are now expected to lead governance integration without formal authority. COBIT provides the common language to close that gap, but only if you know how to apply it in engineering context.
