What is the Production-Grade MLOps Foundations course about?

Teams build powerful models, but struggle to transition them into production under board-level scrutiny. Without clear governance, version control, and risk-aware deployment protocols, even successful pilots fail to scale. The gap isn't technical capability, it's the ability to operationalize ML in a way that aligns with compliance, risk appetite, and strategic oversight.
