Security initiatives still feel like bolt-ons to Lean processes, creating friction and missed leverage points
The situation this course is for
Many Lean practitioners see security as a downstream gate, not a built-in discipline. This leads to rework, compliance gaps, and lost opportunities to lead high-impact initiatives. The result is continued marginalization of process leadership in critical development cycles.
Who this is for
Senior process and delivery coaches in large tech organizations who influence engineering workflow but lack structured methods to integrate security into Lean without sacrificing speed
Who this is not for
Entry-level developers, standalone security auditors, or compliance officers without Lean coaching responsibilities
What you walk away with
- Turn OWASP controls into actionable workflow enhancements within Lean frameworks
- Position yourself as the integrator of choice for secure delivery initiatives
- Command bigger-budget engagements that require both process and security rigor
- Produce audit-ready outputs without sacrificing team velocity
- Lead cross-functional initiatives where security and delivery must align from sprint one
