Compliance officers are expected to support fast-moving agile initiatives without compromising control integrity, yet most frameworks aren’t built for mid-market speed and complexity.
The situation this course is for
Mid-market organizations are adopting agile at scale faster than ever, but compliance teams lack practical, implementation-ready guidance. Legacy approaches don’t fit, and off-the-shelf agile frameworks overlook regulatory constraints. This creates friction, rework, and missed alignment, just when speed and precision matter most.
Who this is for
Compliance, risk, or governance professionals in mid-market organizations (200, 2,000 employees) leading or supporting agile transformations involving SAFe, LeSS, Scrum@Scale, or custom frameworks with regulatory oversight.
Who this is not for
Enterprise compliance executives in organizations over 2,000 employees, individual contributors not involved in transformation, or professionals seeking certification prep without implementation focus.
What you walk away with
- Apply agile-at-scale frameworks while maintaining regulatory compliance
- Design compliance controls that integrate into agile workflows without bottlenecks
- Lead cross-functional alignment between compliance, product, and engineering teams
- Build audit-ready artifacts within iterative development cycles
- Deploy a tailored implementation playbook specific to mid-market operating constraints
