What is the Operationally-Sound Quality Management course about?

Even skilled professionals struggle to maintain quality standards when teams are remote or hybrid. Without clear operational frameworks, effort multiplies, alignment breaks down, and compliance risks grow, all while velocity slows. The challenge isn't lack of expertise; it's lack of integrated, repeatable systems.
