What is the Production-Grade Acquisition Integration course about?

Traditional integration approaches fail under modern demands: tight timelines, distributed systems, regulatory scrutiny, and talent constraints. Leaders are expected to deliver flawless execution with limited runway and visibility. Without a structured, production-grade methodology, teams default to reactive firefighting, risking timeline overruns, compliance gaps, and cultural misalignment.
