What is the Mid-Market Quality Management course about?

In mid-market environments, cross-functional programs often suffer from inconsistent quality practices. Engineering, operations, compliance, and product teams use different benchmarks, timelines, and review cycles. This leads to rework, audit findings, and missed delivery windows, not because of poor effort, but because of fragmented quality governance. Without a unified approach, even high-performing contributors operate in reactive mode.
