What is the Own the SBOM Definition End course about?

Without a clear definition-owner, SBOMs become reactive artifacts shaped by compliance, security, or external teams after the fact. This leads to delays, duplication, and erosion of engineering agency. Practitioners with influence are now stepping in early to define what’s in and why, before the request lands.

  • Before a major product release under scrutiny

Before vs. after

Before
SBOMs are assembled reactively, often after requests from security or compliance, leading to rework and inconsistent quality.
After
You own the specification, set expectations early, and deliver consistent, auditable SBOMs as a first-order output of delivery.
