What is the Modern Engineering Productivity Programs course about?
After an acquisition, engineering teams often face misaligned incentives, inconsistent tooling, and cultural friction that delay product convergence. Without a productivity framework, integration takes longer, key talent disengages, and technical debt accumulates faster than value is captured.
