What is the Operationally-Sound Product-Led Operating course about?
Traditional compliance models are reactive and siloed, struggling to keep pace with rapid product cycles. This leads to bottlenecks, inconsistent enforcement, and misalignment with engineering and product teams. As organizations adopt agile and product-centric ways of working, compliance must evolve to operate with the same speed and precision.
