What is the DORA for Senior Financial Product Leaders course about?
Compliance teams draft DORA requirements in isolation, then hand off implementation to product. This back-seat role means product leaders inherit scope, cost, and timeline decisions they didn’t influence, leading to delayed launches, bloated budgets, and marginalization in strategic planning.
